Training objective: very hard ride of 1-2 hours with a lot of hills and cadence running at 75-80 rpm's. No heavy gears anymore in the lead up to Attakwas on the 21st. Wet and windy at the start which made for slow sand/gravel at times. Took it at about 80% race pace for the first 60 minutes, then turned on the gas for the last bit. Other than the downhill sections, the cadence was probably more like 75-84 rpm's rather than the objective of 75-80, but not bad. Kept the heart pumping on this one! Not a lot of Strava segments in this area, but I managed to get a bunch of PR's (knocking off 4-5 minutes from my previous best on one of the most challenging climbs) and a couple of top 3 rankings on some downhills (missing a KOM by 2 seconds!).
