About this ride
Twin Hills 60 has two big hills. Each builds over 17 minutes of seated climbing, through foothills, climb and steeper sections, then finishes with a standing summit and peak in the red. The second hill is a little harder than the first.
Between the hills there's an 8½-minute valley to recover. The warm-up and cool-down are short, so most of the hour is climbing.
Tips
- Hold back on the first hill. The second one is harder.
- Stand up for the summit and peak, and sit straight back down for the descent.
- Use the valley to bring your breathing right down before the second climb.
