 As the title says really, any one entered? Any ladies pairs/solos?
|
 |
 Me and Trio as a pair.
|
|
training hard?
15000 m of climbing is almost twice everest...
|
|
 Yes we are training hard. Want to enjoy the event as much as possible. Are you entered?
|
|
yep, Im entered. Going solo. Sadly not much training yet.....ouch its gonna hurt!
|
|
 are you doing ALL  of it or just sections ?
|
|
The plan is to do it all. LOL Im doing it with 2 other solos so hopefully we will be able to support each other/keep each other entertained/apply assos minty **** lard to otherwise unreachable places.

With pairs you ride all the linking sections together and then the race sections are either split or rode together. Jumbly only agreed to enter a couple of weeks ago, but we're training hard together now. Have a long way to go though.

Erm, twice as much climbing as Everest!? Trio?? You must have not let me work that bit out when I agreed to enter. We are training hard though, we keep hunting out 1in4 bits of road to pedal up. My heart rate monitor has displayed a number so high it started flashing a question mark in disbelief I was still alive! Solo riding, good on you. If we can be of any assistance either with some training rides now or a shoulder to cry on during the event let us know.

1/4 hills, respect! "sit and spin sit and spin!!"
I dont wear a monitor for that very reason. Where are you based?
|
|
sit and spin didn't happen, it was out of the saddle cranking. We're in Lancashire, where are you?
|
|
So how is everyones training going? I am now riding solo, ekk. Only 63days to go!
|
|
Hey! welcome to the nutters club  training ..... hmmm. Should do more should do more. How about you?
|
|
yes I think I need to do more training too! Never really done anything like it so won't know if I'm doing the right thing till the event I guess. I've been called a nutter a lot recently!
|
|
yer me too. cant say I can deny it given the evidence!
Are you totally solo or do you have someone to ride with/look after you?
|
|
My OH is coming along to pitch the tent, cook me food and drive between the locations. I had never planned to do it solo so hopefully this wil make it easier when I'm dying. But I'll be riding on my own, guessing I will be on my own as I'll be so much slower than the rest. Do you have any support? Have to admit after monday riding 83miles on-road on my own then riding with the OH 18miles off-road in the evening that the tag nutter might be justified!
|
|
I am riding with 2 other solos. We also have a wiling volunteer to be 'team manager'.
Doubt you will be slowest-remember the hare an d the tortoise!
|
|
Lets hope not, I'll be glad to finish! But some good training between now and then should help. have you done much endurance stuff before?
