110rpm @ 17Mph is a high cadence but something else concerns me!

Training for 4 Hours a day over a weekend is a bit unbalanced! - It needs to be spread a bit and as a cat 3 rider he should know better! he should certainly try mixing his riding and try some big gears, surely his club should be helping him out though?

Having said that I have degenerated in my training until after Christmas! lol
