    You plan to do 20 - 30 miles of hill repeats?

    Yes that's correct some flats but mostly hills one after another

    So not laps up and down the same one hill until you've racked up a bunch of miles, but a ride through rolling terrain? That sounds much more pleasant! :smile:

    Repeated hills isn't quite the same thing as hill repeats - far more enjoyable for a start!! :)

    I will be heading for the Surrey Hills A.O.N.B. this weekend as:
    A> I've got an Audax event coming up with some big climbs in a fortnight.
    B> I'm rubbish at hills. :(
