Testing My Legs Up Steenbras Road Climb | DTUBE Cycling Vlog

This was one of the best rides I have done in a while! It was pretty short at 41km, but so much fun!

I went up my favorite climb, Steenbras Dam and got an unplanned PR!

What happened was, I joined a random cycling group on the road going towards the climb. They told me they are going up there and we just ended up smashing it! Time trial pace.

I was first up the climb by some distance, but it was not an easy ride for me. The fact that I had the flu over December and did not do any hard efforts in the last month definitely effected my time up there today.

I'm not trying to make excuses, but that's just the truth. I'm not at my best right now but I rate two weeks then I will be back at peak level.

Today was a good motivator and I'm glad I did that effort!

Perhaps it was exactly what my legs needed.
