Rohloff hillclimbing

Today i was out for the first longer ride this year and since i got the Rohloff. I did my normal rutine, an hour of riding up and down 3 hills. Well, it usually takes an hour. Last time i did this ride was in late August :-( because i've been really busy since then.

Back in August i had the normal 8 gear on my Sofrider, and i did the almost 25 km with an average speed of 23.41 km/h max speed of 40.77 km/h.

Today i did it in 1:15, average 19.44 km/h and max 36.99 km/h. So quickly my stamina has deteriorated. Maybe part of the reason is that i've since then gained something like half a Silvio. Gotta ride it off.

I had a strong tail win going out, and the same win head on going home :-(


Riding with Rohloff is great. I can really use the extra gears going up hill, always being able to find just the right gear.
