Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would see if anyone else was doing this this year, I know its not a huge ride but will be my first organised ride since I did this one back in 05(think it was 05 anyway might have been 06
)and I have hardly touched a bike since. Me and a friend have signed up for this one and have just started on the training rides, well me more than him as he is far fitter than me so I have got a couple of sneaky rides in when he wasnt looking
Best ride out so far was on Sunday, did a loop around south cambridgeshire including going up 'the everest of cambridgeshire' at great chishill, had a good ride out of about 35 miles covering 1200 odd feet of climbs according to bikehike covering this in about 2 hours of in the saddle time so happy.
I am aiming to set a time of 3 hours for the ride in July so have a bit of time to get my pace and stamina up for the ride, and from what I remember doing it years ago you could get a decent pace up for much less effort when you were riding in groups of other riders.
maybe see some others of you there
