Wheel Wheel Wheel Do It! Hill repeats!!!!!

This is our first attempt at doing Hill Repeats. We will set off from the bus stop at the start of Loxley Road and take a left at Damflask to the Plough. (if you prefer you can meet us at the Plough at approx 7.20pm. Usually when we get to the Plough we turn right but this time we will be turning left and going up that hill: the one we usually look at and say thank goodness we are not going up there. This time we are going up it repeatedly!!! Doing hill repeats is a great way to build up your strength and stamina. The idea is that you ride up the hill as fast as you can for a set time (say 3 or 4 minutes) and then turn round - go down the hill to recover for about the same time and then do it again. You can do as many repeats as you want. If you haven't done this type of intense exercise then it is best to take it steady this time. I am not saying it is easy but it is rewarding.
