7 days till first 100

[endoman]

1 week till I do my first 100 in the Action Medical York 100.

Been cycling just over 3 months, longest so far 86 miles, done about 180 a week for last month, speed increasing, can do 10 mile lap with club at nearly 20 mph now.

Hoping for 6 hours ish, looks quite flat compared to what I'm used to. Will start steady, hope to tag on to a group, and make sure I feed / hydrate as I have done in training.

Will do about 60 on Sunday, then step it down during the week, 30, tues, 40 weds, 20 quick thurs maybe have 10 miles on Friday and Saturday off?

Hope new shoes get comfy by then,

Well did first long club ride today with the speedsters, pretty windy on the way back but 58 miles at 17.3 mph, hard work for me but good prep.

We did have a guy who had a head on with a car at low speed, came off, but no real damage done other than scratches to car and bike.


New shoes v comfy so just an easy week ahead

Sounds like you're well prepared - enjoy the day, and the milestone

I've done all the biking so I can enjoy it, I hope!

Was fun today being pushed by the young thin peeps in the club, hearing them talk of Ironmans, track races, tour of the peaks etc. I was chuffed to just about stop in the group, although they left me up a few hills.

This time next year Rodney!
