TOUGH TODAY

Well my second day of tackling the moss. The weather was nice and sunny and the wind was up and as i was riding over to Holmfirth i knew that it was going to be a head wind up the climb. The legs felt ok but i was a little tired as i worked night's last night.

As soon as i started my first ascent i knew that today was not going to be as easy as yesterday. The first 2 climbs felt hard and it reminded me why i don't normally like Holme Moss as it is a little to open to the elements. Coming down the Moss was a little bit twitchy with the wind and even without pedaling i hit 77.9Km'h before i hit the breaks so i took it steady on the way down after that.

After the second ascent the legs felt a little better on the 3rd but the 4th was a bit of a struggle.

Giving my feet a break after the 4th ascent.

So 4 ascents done today but i am time trialing tomorrow so it will be thursday before i am back on the mountain weather permitting as it is ment to be raining.

Total Ascents 47
Todays Ascents 4
Current Running Total 7
