This prompt me to remember one of the ride we did last January. The course consist of a 17km gruesome climb although im not sure what is the percentage gradient. I came out fifth and i think that's because my upper body is so thin, i could just survived the climb well enough. I should do better but it is glad to have those heavy-muscle riders fell behind me
One more thing. In our country, most of the road race competition is about 90km(hardly ever go above 100km). Maybe i should do more miles.. Honestly, i prefer cross country than road cycling. Should i do more interval on road bike as well??
