Psychological warfare... me against the hills... or more accurately, me against me.

It was out on the bike this evening, sticking to my new plan to cross train and mix up the running with the biking. I decided to do one of my regular routes but this time to do it backwards. This involves some long slow climbs, just the type I don't like, and worse, long slow climbs into the prevailing wind. I need to put my head into places it prefers not to go... to harden my resolve. The good news is that I got to go down the Relentless Bastard and Heart Attack Hill for a pleasant change.

All I can say is... you can keep your pubs and drugs, alcohol or otherwise; you can keep your clubs and your gym membership. The views from the tops of the Downs this evening were phenomenal and the only high I need in my life (well nearly the only high I need).

   

As for the biking, 13 miles of glorious slog ... you can't beat it

   

I might call this route, the South Downs Mouse...
