Training progress
So last month we received the detailed program for our training to ensure everyone is up to the task of a 10day epic ride. Some good pointers and guidelines along with Assessment rides to be submitted online in Dec, Jan and Feb.
Sydney folk are lucky enough to have scheduled rides to participate in together for the assessments, we in Brisbane will get together at the end Jan for a group ride, however I was keen to get in the assessment ASAP and give the endurance a test. Most of my riding is 2-3hrs, so a 5hr ride was something I wanted to test as I hadn’t done one since racing Epic last year
January’s assessment is 130kms in 5.5hrs or less with at least 1400m of ascent. I planned a solo ride up Mt Mee and back from home and happy to say it was done in 4.5hrs with 1800m of vertical and 131kms
Feb will be 180kms with 2000m in under 7.5, so far am feeling ok about that.
Leave a message for me:
If you want you can even spread the word and post it on facebook.
