Started. 1100' of reps. Starting to trust the bike a bit more in the slither. Onwards!
Thanks for the tips! I'll be getting plenty of practice at it so these are helpful. Bike build coming along nicely. Just can't get the rear derailleur to fit the dropout. Grr.
A record number of women enytered :w00t:
Also, quite a few of my MTB enduro nemeses [sp?] there :w00t:
Well, I did my first training session yesterday. Carried the bike streight up the side of the Blorenge... Much longer than Simon's fell and at least as steep towards the end... Then rode for another couple of hours or so off road. Took some getting used to being on 35 mm Landcruisers on a very light and skippy Ti CX race machine I had never taken out of a muddy field before :w00t: VERY different from 29er wheels with 2.25 Nobby Nics/Racing Ralphs on it and suspension and flat handlebars... But we will get there! Just need to get more careful with my lines again...
Shake, rattle and roll!

I have been racing MTB endurance events all summer... and just started adding some road speed work to get a bit faster for the rather 'short' 3 Peaks race...
Started carrying as well, but got waylaid by MTB races so better pick up with my weekly carry session tomorrow :w00t:
Mix of 1-2 hour road rides, hill reps running and biking, and a little cx hill loop that's about a 3' run/carry, 3' undulating and 3' descending. Try to do laps of that once a week. A few fell races, not much actual 'going for a run'. I'm short on long stuff - there's a big gap between my 2h rides and 4-5h Peaks will take
As with you, lots of road as that was my downfall last time,will still be riding my 35 year old Alan though (very light frame)
:thumbup:
Are we all fettled up and got the gubbins sorting out ont bikes ready fer 30th
Not exactly... I need my wheels re-building with new rims, the current ones are worn through... I hope I get that sorted in time :w00t:
