Cycling Workout 18: A potential class down the line

Just thought this one up... could be fun!

Total Time: 60 minutes

Warm-up:
5 min. easy spin
5 min. one leg isolations: 45 sec. each leg

Main Set:
5 min. on flat road; 30 seconds off x 45 seconds push, level 6
2 min. on flat road; 10 seconds off x 20 seconds on, hard push level 7

1 min. push on flat road x 1 min. climb, level 7
1 min. push on flat road x 2 min. climb, level 7
1 min. push on flat road x 3 min. climb, level 7
1 min. push on flat road x 4 min. climb, level 7
1 min. push on flat road x 5 min. climb, level 7
Moderate tension for all climbs with 1 min. rest in between each set
5 min. climb, start flat road and increase tension every 30 seconds while holding level 6 pace (nice solid tempo)
Pulls at the front: Flat road; 30 on (level 7) x 30 off, increase on interval by 5 seconds after initial interval but keep 30 seconds rest throughout
2-3 minutes: sprints on a flat

Cool Down:
10 minutes easy

P.S.
Pure climbing/racing workout. Help you to adjust to racing up the hill as opposed to just getting over it.
