I'm doing Tour but no way am I doing back to back. After putting in a legit hard effort on any ride. esp. one with climbs - I need next day to be easy. My training for Tour and other hill climb rides is going well. Today was a hill climbing repeat day - did Cougar Mountain 3 times in 21 minute avg. Cougar is our toughest local long climb - 2.72 miles - 8.5% grade (that's avg in spots I am sure it is 12%) and total of around 1,200 feet of vertical.
