Mt Nebo beckons


(click on image for larger version)

Heart rate at 186 bpm within a kilometre of starting .... this is going to hurt. With the motivation of the 2009 Noosa Enduro to push me, I (and a group of fellow mtbers) headed up the standard Gap Ck - Mt Nebo route which is approx 50km and 1,500m of climbing for a training ride. A beautiful morning for it, with a great crew.  

It did hurt .... but after reviewing the gps data, I equalled my best moving average for the route at a lower heart rate than 12 months ago (which was also the last time I did this ride).  No wonder I feel a bit spent.
