Riding in the big gear

Well, spent Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday riding in the big gears (52x15 and 52x13). Started out on Wednesday and Thursday just cranking pretty slowly in a 52x13 but on Friday I did some fast spinning and 10 second sprints in 52x13. Saturday spent an hour on the bike doing 3x10 minute intervals at 52x13. Kept a steady moderate pace with fast pedaling for 60, 90, 120 seconds. The big gear is a killer and it is much harder getting the legs to get used to spinning fast but it has only been 3 weeks since I started training. Next week will be a month and I will do a nice easy ride probably on Canada Road to test out the form. But today I have some hill reps to do.
