Alpe d'Huez Indoor ride at Newignton! Wow!


Tonight we had a guest trainer at the Newington Bike Shop, Wesley Hart from www.thefitnesscontinuum.com. We did a simulated ride of the Alpe d'Huez of the Tour De France. This ride consisted of 3 minute intervals with 3 parts. A big change 23/19 spin for 1 minute, followed by a Big Chain 15 - 90 rpm effort for 1 minute; finishing with a big chain 12 30 seconds sitting, 30 second out of the saddle. These intevals repeated without rest 20 Times! That's right 20 Times! 20 miles - 90 minutes of hill climbing at near 85% HRMax...Wow! I will be sore for days!

Just have to keep spinning my wheels!
