you have like 4 weeks to prepare.johnnyc wrote:Hi guys and gals,
I've registered for this event, but I haven't cycled a bike in over 2 years.
The site recommends a training program of cycles and rides I should to to prepare for the distance, but can anyone here point me in a better direction for training advice?
For the last two weeks I've just been in the gym, spinning away on the stationary bike watching fox sports!
I wouldn't mind a bit more guidance from some of the more experienced people on the site

You'd be surprised once you start riding with 7000 people how quick the 100kms will go...as neil13 said do the 60kms if you dont feel confident...deks wrote:nah too far for me i think
mmm...alright i'll talk to the mrs and see how i go. the other thing is i dont have anyone to ride with and i dont want to do it by myself. So i'll see if i can con her into bringing her bike along for it.tatt2 wrote:You'd be surprised once you start riding with 7000 people how quick the 100kms will go...as neil13 said do the 60kms if you dont feel confident...deks wrote:nah too far for me i think

Sorry, completely unrelated to the topic... I might as well say something about the challenge...ah! CAN'T WAIT!!!! did a 65km ride on Saturday and wasn't tired afterwards so i think I can take it!
Yeah it started out as a Giant OCR3 has some 105 running gear and shimano wheels now, soon will have compact cranks and 10 speed with 105 shifters, might have to call it a OCR specialbaarg wrote:Hey Tatt2 - I noticed your sig says OCR3 07, is that a Giant and your bike I take it (?).

Go as quick or as slow as you want mateMoz wrote:Does anyne know if you can move up to the next group on the ride? I mean, if I find that I am riding faster/slower than the group, can I just go at my own pace or do you have to stay in a group?
