Very nearly there, final week of serious training done. This week I have cycled 206 miles over 5 rides and climbed 3,024 vertical meters in the process. Wednesdays CTC ride alone was 72 miles and 1,039 meters climbed. During this coming week I shall just be doing 2 or 3 gentler rides to keep the legs working.
The closer I get to the ride the more I seem to be worrying that the training has not been enough. It is only once the ride starts will I know for sure but I am certain that I have not been as fit as I am now for a great many years.
Peak Tours have been in touch with the final route notes and satnav files. Once these have been printed and the Garmin devise loaded it will all ready to go.
I will do a “0 weeks to go” blog next Friday then hopefully a daily blog for the adventure as it unfolds.
All I have to do now is pack my bag and check that I have every thing I need and it all works.
Using pub WiFi at Malham Cove…no it at site. Best Wishes and pace yourself for Le Ride of a Lifetime…will keep an eye on the blog…
Thanks for your best wishes. I think I will be pacing myself for the whole 14 days. Hope you are enjoying your holiday, it is a great part of the country.
