training update

With only  a little under 3 weeks to go before i head to Le Grande Boucle (the tour) my training is reaching the stage where i finish off my conditioning and put the final touches on my fitness.
The last 6 weeks i have steadily increased the distance/time i have been riding, averaging 3 hours per day with a few longer rides (4 hours) and a couple of 5.5 hour rides thrown in for good measure.
As i have no choice but to ride hills, my climbing is improving but it still hurts!
