Well, that's the last full week of training completed! Went out both days over the weekend, put in plenty of climbing on Saturday, I really should have counted how many times I have been over Winter Hill so far this year. This is the hill in all it's glory.
Also ended up with the club ride on Sunday back over Winter Hill again!
Since committing to do the ride back in January I have clocked up 3,000 miles in training and too many hours to count. Physically, I am as ready as I ever will be. Excited and nervous about what it will be like to ride for 10 consecutive days for some where between 1,000 to 1,100 miles. Still sorting the last details, booking B&B's, getting the bike serviced, checking the kit, etc. The target for this week is to rest up, a few steady miles to keep the legs ticking over and eat a lot of carbs, and I mean a lot of carbs.
Super training Steve, 3000 miles is impressive. These will stand you in good stead for the tough stretches to come. Everyone has 100% confidence in you. Just set off and enjoy it all. Will be following you closely each day and cheering you on. Hope to see you out with the club before you set off.
