Hi. I've been riding for a couple of years now, mostly mountain bike for the first year, and after a big scare of almost falling off to my death on a cliff, I switched to road cycling. At first I was just cycling to get to places and eat and sightsee but then some opportunities opened up and I moved to Japan for a job I really wanted.
stopped any real excercise, except for the occasional hike, while concentrating on my career but one day I got fed up and decided to take up road cycling seriously. I don't necessarily want to go on races, but I want to be able to at least keep up with the stronger guys.
I've been riding quite a bit recently with this being my most recent ride. https://www.strava.com/activities/349134230
I still cant do the whole Sadamine toge without resting a couple of times, and on the way back up from Gelato Hana, I was already completely out of gas and had to rest once.
Looking at your guys data on strava I see people averaging 27-29 kph on long rides with climbs
I would like to ask for some advice on how do I get stronger on the climbs and faster on the flats?
I've been watching my weight, and what I eat, down from 97ish kilos last year on my heaviest to 81ish right now.
Trying to get in 2-3 weekday rides before work and 2-3 long rides a month as time permits.
