START OF MY RAPHA RISING

Well as i have been working over the weekend my rapha rising started today on a warm but cloudy day in West Yorkshire. As i do not own a garmin or anything like it i am only including the climbing metres that i do up Holme Moss.
I had a bit of a Dickie tummy this morn so i wasn't sure how i would feel on my ride today but after the first hour before i started to climb into Holme i felt better.



As i took the above photo of the base of the climb a cyclist rode bye so i caught him up and rode up for the first time with company. He was riding Holme Moss for the first time after seeing it in a book he recently bought (100 greatest climbs in Britain) so it was a nice easy ride up chatting. He also said that he was going to do the Jackson Bridge climb at some time so gave him my thoughts on the climb. The wind was being kind to us as there was virtually none which is an advantage when climbing the moss.
So today i planned to do 3 ascents just to break me in gently. I took all 3 steady so i could start the week steady. Tomorrow i will do 4 ascents and then 4 each on thursday and friday.






Oh what joy. lol
