The start of my journey to conquer my Pyrenees Cycling Challenge
Two months before an annual trip away cycling with some complete psychos who love hills and long rides in exotic places, I realised that I was going to die if I didn't take extreme measures.
So, I called up Togo at Njinga and told him I was a 5/10 on the fitness scale and about to head to the Pyrenees for circa 400kms of riding including 7km of climbs and some hill called Col du Tourmalet. Having checked that, although a competent amateur cyclist, I was definitely a 5/10 with a pretty feeble FTP score of 167w, in my 50s and overweight with just 7 weeks to train up, Togo agreed that I was odds on to die...unless I did exactly what he told me to do.
