\"Kings<\/a>
Kings Lynn to Holkham Hall ride<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Sunday I went out for the day with Sally’s group, Sandringham & West Norfolk Cyclists for their Christmas run to Holkham Hall. \u00a0In my case mainly to see if the Gorilla Guru bikefit <\/a>had made any difference to my riding.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0did the 54 miles and 1,381 feet of ascent at an average speed of 15.1mph which for me is VERY good! the previous week I had only managed 14.5mph on a flatter circuit. The biggest difference seemed to be\u00a0in the climbing (TonyM stop laughing – I don’t live in The Rockies).<\/p>\n

Here’s a Strava record of my 10 attempts at The Welcome To The Jungle\u00a068 feet monster hill with a gradient of 5.2% As you can see I demolished my previous attempts \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, yes, I think the fit has made a difference. The pain in my quads has largely gone, to be replaced by an overall aching which is probably due to my legs getting an additional 1″ of stretch each revolution.<\/p>\n

Now the question is should I splash out on a new bike….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
