Ride from Banyan to gatehouse and back 41' on way back. Hotter than yday but took it steady on way out and harder on way back. Bronchial cough worse overnight-just aircon.

Bintan Tour loop from Banyan-only 10min stop after 2.5hrs hard at end of Red Road of Death which we did twice out and back-easier going back. Funny as more climb than outward ending at sea level. Akin to 30 min interval session x2! Felt easier on way out than last time and this week's hill reps definitely helped! Combination of gradient-more big ring climbs, after wee rest and homeward bound I guess? Outwards 40' same as Nov 23 last year but just 30' back which was 5' faster than last time. V hilly ride and hard in 35oC heat but v good session. Last 15k v hard as hilly and tired. Good one to have in the bank and mental strength. Useful training for Tour of Bintan in Nov! Not sure how I'm going to manage 150k fb by 100k though!?? Bronchial cough after two nights air con but great sleeps!

Hill intervals 5 x 4min hill reps Bhukit Batok Hill x=4.08" Hard after mild virus and jet lag! 20" per rep better than last year on 10th July. Turned into cold and bronchial cough!
