This. You won't gain anything from any 'training' rides between now and T3P, proposed 100k included. Rest will be more beneficial.

If I took a full week off the bike, I'd be back to square one next weekend. Wnt be anything like yesterday over the next week, but if I stop peddling my form just drops away. Was the same with running too, I need to keep ticking over.

Beautiful sunny day here in northern France. Off out to play soon on the lightly populated minor roads. Perhaps a fourth imperial half century in four days .

you better watch, thats what happend with me and the next thing i knew i snapped my chain in the middle of nowhere..i'd be getting my gear serviced ASAP

Was serviced 3 weeks back, chain and cassette where replaced. Went back I'm Thursday as Wednesday's ride felt like a snap was coming. They de indexed the gears, felt ok Thursday night, today was all over the place. Going back in Monday morning to say I want it properly looked at as cant risk a mechanical Next week

This is what happened when my rear gear cable snapped first time round. Gears were playing up and bike in and out of lbs for reindexing until cable snapped a long way from home. Just about as far from home or a bike shop as it could have done leaving me with only the 3 gears and one of those included a badly crossed concept, that being the most useful and lowest for the hills I had to cover to get home. It took a lot of doing and standing on pedals... I got lucky 2nd time it snapped, I was within walking distance of home, but that time I had no warning whatsoever.

A photo from yesterday on my first DIY 200k Audax, at Talla Reservoir. It was a glorious day!

Just been playing with bike and it's only in the lower gears in the wee ring I'm getting noise. Will go in and ask for cable to be replaced first thing tomorrow

Does your left shifter have 2 positions whilst in gear for chain alignment?

Beautiful day today, hope everyone got the chance to make the most of it. I was doing a pedestrian speed 30 miles until I crossed paths with jamie and ended up going over sherriffmuir.
