THERE MAY NOT BE THAT MANY 20km epics of climbs like those seen on the Tour de France in Australia, but what we do have in profusion are shorter sub-three-minute blasts, which are gruesomely referred to as ‘power climbs’.
Throughout our crumpled and extremely varied land these unavoidable killers lurk around many a corner. For many of us, our daily rides are laced with such climbs, and we often learn to endure them rather than profit from them. Be it during a group ride, a solo commute, or even a race, learning to outwit and master the perils of these climbs will make for major performance and morale gains.
