    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    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!

    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?

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    So circa 6 hours a day? 1 long stint, 2 with a break? 3 sessions of 2 hours?

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    ..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
    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

    Yup, length of stints to be determined by terrain and the need for sensible feeding! Bite sized chunks is psychologically good!

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    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

    Oh and did 60 kms on the track this morning, just to stay on topic... Turbo tonight...

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    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...
