yeah, that could be 190bpm. Uphill so unlikely to be a flapping jersey. We went for a sprint, I timed my effort thinking the top was closer than it was

so I guess it was from then!
Weds Basakabi loop, 100km
Very pleased with this, but maybe wind assisted. It was a twice weekly loop I did a couple of winters ago, and have hardly done it since so a good yardstick (I had a pretty good 2012 season). Had to beat my PB of 1h42 to the top (50km x 1000m more or less), and crack 30kmh avg for the full loop.
Had a good tailwind into Tolosa but was slightly against me for most of the climb. Didn't set any PBs for the individual climbs, but went over the top 6 mins faster than my PB. Apart from a couple of climbs it's all downhill from there, but the descent is narrow and poorly surfaced so holding the 30kmh avg isn't so easy. Legs weren't good on the climbs and I had to grovel into the wind for the last hour but I stopped the clock with 31.2kmh avg so job done on both counts!
Fri Hills 110km
Easy out, riding with the young guns in the club (ie Cadetes, under 17s). Left them at Orio, did four climbs from 0m-300/350m and none of them very well. Temps were climbing and I was dressed for the 8º which were showing on my bedroom window at 8am.
Sat Zumaia Igeldo 80km
Fast group again, but I had a 12pm curfew. Thought we had the ultimate Euskaltel fanboy with us, but soon realised it was Astarloza (he goes with this group every now and then). For the first time ever I timed the sprint to Meagas right, went from 100m out knowing where the line was, and that half the bunch had been gapped, and 'won' - but it was more a case of being gifted it.. not sure it's good form for pros to beat club riders! For a retired rider though he can belt out some watts, pulling the group up a false flat at 50kmh with nobody able to go round to take a pull. I was running out of time so turned off and had an easy spin home via Igeldo.
