In theory a hilly course like Taupo should work in my favour, providing my legs are strong enough. <BR/><BR/>I have to admit that you might have gone right past me and I wouldn't have noticed yesterday. I was too busy being annoyed about getting dropped! How hilarious, BTW, that Phil got heckled for wearing a pink jersey!Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205242741145067573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29642030.post-50603178172250204742008-10-11T17:50:00.000+13:002008-10-11T17:50:00.000+13:00Wow. And OW OW OW! Nice hills. Have fun tomorro...Wow. And OW OW OW! Nice hills. Have fun tomorrow!! You really are going all out with the cycling- Taupo's going to be a piece of cake.<BR/><BR/>The reason you don't have the power on the flats is part of why you fly up hills. You're tiny. So,while you're obviously very strong, you won't get the power a bigger person gets. As you get stronger, you'll get more and more powerful, and better on flats and hills, but you'll never be able to push it on the flats the way a muscly guy can.<BR/><BR/>PS- how gorgeous was today!? I was keeping an eye out for you lot, but we left too late. Though we could have seen you on the way out of town.
