The mood for each hill is set by the music with two completely different genres. There will also be a differnt challenge and focus for each climb.The first hill is ridden predominantly in the saddle with a few standing breaks and a powerful finish out of the saddle for the final 2 minutes. It starts quite lightly but using resistance loading, will get progressively steeper, while cadence stays constant for much of it. This will be an enormous physical and mental challenge, but the music will inspire you to stay seated longer than you are used to! This hill is rock and alternative based. After a brief recovery period, the second hill starts with a bang; a steep face that requires a 2 minute standing climb. The remainder of the hill is long with varying steepness and topography. We'll be out of the saddle much more than before. This hill is more instrumental elctronic with strong percussion and energy. It is full of passion!
