Divis x 2

So today cleared up and was actually quite warm and pleasant. I'm doing a challenge on strava called rafa rising which is a climbing challenge. It works out 3000ft a day for eight days so I thought I might as well get some good training in before hand. The challenge starts after next week and coincides with the climbing during the tour. 

Anyway this involved scaling our highest peak, divis twice. The actual run was fine enough with not a great deal to report. A few pr's on Strava but nothing extra ordinary. I've never done the climb back to back but do have plenty of experience climbing and handled it fairly well. Of course doing today for eight days in a row may provide some issues but so far so good- we will see. 

This is my other bike by the way, usually reserved for wet weather and general commuting. It puts in the majority of my miles and if your looking a first road bike/ winter hack/ solid commuter I would thoroughly thoroughly recommend it. I do love this wee red machine. Very cheap from Decathlon. 

Happy cycling folks! :)
