Ride London 100

I have set up this thread with the purpose of inspiring all members of the NAS RL100 team who are taking on this challenge.
 
The chat can be about anything broadly related to this ride.  For example:
 
  • Why this challenge and why are you doing this
  • Who inspired you
  • Discussions about your training
  • Discussions about your fundraising
  • Use it for obtaining tips from experienced members of the team
  • You can identify the level of experience that you already have and what your personal goal is
  • Setting up training rides or routes
  • Discussing how you are going to tackle Newlands Corner, Leith Hill or Box Hill
  • What other members of your family are going to do during your ride
 
It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a PB of less than 5 hours or even if you will even be delighted at beating the nine hour time limit, we will all be experienced cyclist at the end of this experience and all contributions are welcome.
 
PS.  Apparently Kate Donohue is also going to be contributing to this thread!

  • Kate,

    Recovery food

    From experience after a century ride I am usually quite hungry and a good carbohydrate/protein rich meal I find greatly helps kick start the recovery process.

     After all the sports drink, gells and wine gums that I have consumed on the ride, savoury food as an alternative such as an Italian type pasta dish usually works well for me.  

     A nice mug of tea will also be a welcomed to help with the required fluid replacement.
