Could I ask all you good cyclists if you think 6 days consecutive riding with daily mileages between 80 and 130 miles (most over 100) is feasible for a very occasional cyclist? Oh, and it will be hilly!:eek:

As long as youre not going race speed! Dont forget to stretch well at the end of day and start gently to warm up in the morning. Where are you going?Quote:

..er, little matter of the self styled "Tour De Galles". No major running for me this year as I am a gimp, but I will be able to cycle. Approx 630 miles in 6 days over the best roads and hills that Wales can offer:eek:
Reckon that on the level of cycling I was before my crash it is on, Wheeze just needs some hard hours in the saddle, toughen up his bum and all that:D:D
And a new divorco-stead obviously??Quote:

You coming?
Not sure my cycling is up to it! Plus I have just bought a new stead so no point there?
Although I can buy on cycle to work scheme now!
Ohhh, I like the idea, can I join you guys for some of it? And when is this Tour of Wales planned for?
I reckon you should be ok Wheeze, as long as you put in some long rides beforehand, the pace isn't too high and don't mind a sore bum :D
Oh and did 60 kms on the track this morning, just to stay on topic... Turbo tonight...
I am in the process of deciding what to buy, steed wise...
I need a full carbon road bike and I am also in need of a track bike...
