I've heard nothing either. My 'training' currently consists of at least one long ride a week plus some standard weights/pushups/situps etc in the evenings, which I've been doing a while anyway. Tbh I'm not much of a road rider and try to spend as much time on the muddy stuff as possible, much more fun. Currently a 'long' ride for me is around 20 miles (again mostly off road) over maybe 4 hours so I've still got a far way to go.
As it gets lighter in the evenings I'll be cycling after work too. ____________________ Photos and that |

You don't really need to be ultra-fit.
I've found that once you can do a few hours on the trot, then you can pretty much keep going for ever if you're keeping a steady pace.
Can't hurt, but I wouldn't worry too much for most people (unless you want to ride a stupidly heavy bike ). |

When i first started caddying at queenwood i would cycle 11 miles there caddy (walk around an 18 hole course with heavy bags) for 6 hours then cycle back.
Wasn't too bad (then again i have an athlete's pulse ) but i only stuck at it for a week as i couldn't be arsed after a while. |

Just spotted that they've cashed my entry cheque, so I guess that means we're in. ____________________ Photos and that |

Well I have not tried to do a road only ride at all yet (too boring) but I don't think I'd be at a 15mph average, probably a bit below. I might be up for a 'test ride' but will probably leave it until the weather's nicer.
Reuben, I'm guessing you've got a road bike as opposed to MTB/similar? ____________________ Photos and that |

I've just seen they have cashed the cheque so looks like we should be getting some confirmation through soon!
Cheers. ____________________ My bike |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 18 years, 70 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
