Ride London 100

Narra
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!

  • riding tip 1.)  ~ beetroot juice, it has been found had beetroot juice helps cycling and recovery

     quote"Other studies have found the positive effects beetroot juice can have on human exercise and performances. In studies conducted by Exeter University, scientists found cyclists who drank a half-litre of beetroot juice several hours before setting off were able to ride up to 20% longer than those who drank a placebo of blackcurrant juice"

    Riding tip 2.) know the finish.., scientists have found that if you know the finishline and ride over it, before you start, your sub-conscious mind will not hold back energy when you are cycling because it knows there is no threat, you know the end (finishline) so when cycling pain starts, it does not hold back energy in the body. Another example of this is,, the crawling finisher at the marathon, suddenly runs like a fast bunny rabbit over the finishline, because the conscious mind releases the sub-conscious mind, thus mind to body energy.

    Riding tip 3.) oil your chain and drink plenty of water hours before, so it is in the system(body) on an isotonic level

    Riding tip 4.) streamline behind some one, use there jetstream, follow them, takes less mind and body energy to follow the pack, they jump out of the streamline and win

    Riding tip 5.) think of sex,, let me know if that one works, sperm race theory

    Riding tip 6.) Get a seat pad, it is worth the investment OUCH ! Tongue Out especially if using riding tip nr 5. Wink

    Enjoy your day
