Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to cycling. My husband and I have agreed to do a challenge event September 2010, and as we have a lot of training to do, we have started already. The challenge is a 17K bike, (mountain climbing, lots of hills) and a 10K walk (old man of Coniston) & a 3K canoe (Coniston waters)
For now we are just getting used to riding the bikes (I'm talking complete novices here) and we have been training for 2 weeks now.
What sort of distances/times should we be aiming for at this stage. How often & what speed? We need to get ourselves fit, loose some weight and nearer the time really concentrate on some hill climbing.
