Biking uphill ============= I have decided that I have to start to cycle more and especially I have to have improve my abilities to cycle uphill. There is a relatively nice road from my office to the nearest hill. The cycle.travel [1] says that one way is 4.4 km with 150 m of ascent (max 11.5%; the main part of such ascent is on the last 1 km) and some 50 m of descend. The way back is easier of course. I should repeat is at least once a week until I will able to reach the top of the hill without any stops... In other news, I installed a map holder on my Favorit bike. I also tried to install the mudguards but there is so little clearance so it will be better to use the bike without them. This is not ideal but I used bikes without mudguards in the past and I had little problems with them. I am still planning to use this bike for some touring. I'm sorry but it will be my last post for some time because I am not in mood to write anything consistent. You probably understand the reasons. References: [1] https://cycle.travel
