I have been cycling for about 4 months now, i have a GIANT TCR C2 2006 model so the bike is good to go fast. Now i am generally going out on a saturday morning on my own for 50kms to 90km bike rides and i would love to eventually do some racing over this distance. I started with an average speed of 25kms per hour, now i have gone up to 29kms per hour on a 72km bike ride which had some hills and a slight breeze. I am generally riding on my own although sometimes i will tuck behind someone but only for about 5 minutes max so i know it is all by myself.
Tell me how should i train to get speed. I have fitness but am new to the bike and not sure best approach. It gets a bit dangerous where i am at night after work so i got a wind trainer. So i am not sure, when i go out on a saturday should i push hard in spurts or keep it at a constant speed? Should i just be happy to continue to get the kms in the legs and as they develop so to the speed will increase? Will work at a Valadrome help???
