My friend asked me if I want to do a section of the Highwood pass this summer. A certain part in Kananaskis, 17 km up and 17 km down.
I don’t bike much and going from Beddington to the zoo and back was a challenge for me. Part of my problem was the fact I don’t use the right gears properly. Couple times we found a couple small inclines but I was in the wrong gear. The other thing was that I had knobby tires on.
So I am going to try and at least do some training for it. What do you recommend? A combination of interval training on the stationary bike for an hour and also some spinning (30 min)? Remember I might have biked 6 times in the last 20 years. Would squats, some HIIT help? TIA
