Good luck Han. Don't forget pain is only temporary :)
Still hurts like hell near the back and there aint no glory there :eek:
Monmouth/Hay/Gospel Pass/Cross Ash/Monmouth.
60 miles of back lane hell, 5,400 feet of climb (max 18%). 4 Hours.
Did not bonk. Discovered secret = 1 flapjack per hour!!:D
I heard that a certain pony / forumite did day one of a 2 day bike race today.... Stories to be told I heard.... :)
Opted for the early hard ride this morning and wasn't dissapointed. A bumpy ride up to Settle, Clapham, Caton, Quernmore and Scorton for a fuel stop after 55 miles. Only 6 of us out so more time working on the front and less time 'resting' on the back. Returned via Chipping hard to very hard at times. Couple of top local runners where out preparing for the Bolton Ironman in August and going well but nobody got dropped and everyone felt the burn.
87 miles at 19.5mph average.
15 miles at 17.5 average . and that hurt !
