It was a chilly old morning, but clear and crisp. I raced down the hill with one of my fastest times – I was bring pretty careful given the temperature and the chance of icy patches. It sounds silly, but I once again was in my work clothes – something I’ll do all the time unless it’s wet.
On the way up I used the Cateye Quick to monitor my time up the hill, it was immensely helpful. I followed the advice to work my cardio system rather than my leg muscles and was in a pretty low gear but pedaling fast (well, by my standards that is). It resulted in my fastest time up the hill so far, sub-ten minutes. To be fair, conditions were perfect, so I don’t expect to see that sort of time all the time. It could also be the start of more consistent times, but we’ll see. Anyhoo, I was pleased with the initial return on my investment in the Cateye Quick.
