Kicking off with the Evans Ride-It event on Sunday - 64 miles, 2800+ feet of climbing, including two cat-4 climbs one after the other, and four cat-5s.
After a brief respite for a tennis match on Monday, I've got Tuesday afternoon off for cycling, so will try to do 60+ in the day, the motors l'etape part II on Wednesday and finally another tennis match on Thursday...
I suggest you don't ask me for anything complicated on Friday!!!
Just don't damage yourself before July 7th!
ReplyDeleteOh and good luck...
4h20m, enjoyable, very tough, very painful (those damned knees again!), and with the four hills close together (two cat 5s and 2 cat 4s between the 25 and 45 mile points) I failed 3/4 of the way up the final cat 4 :(
ReplyDeleteThat's now three hills have beaten me in my life, and I'm worried about the cat 4 and the cat 3 next month!!
Still, 64.5 miles... it's over 26 years since I did anything remotely similar... so I've got to be happy with that!!
well done Dave.
ReplyDeleteBy the way... 4h20 was riding time... once you add in waiting at the top of the hills for my mate, and a couple of cake stops, it was 5h14!!
