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!

  • Our own team pitstop would be very nice and will be useful if other feed stations run out of food.  I would keep it very simple bananas, gels and sweets work well, however flapjacks I find difficult to eat later in the ride, however something savoury also helps arrest the onset of cramp in the calves.

    I would recommend somewhere in the 50 – 80 mile region and you will need to ensure that it is away from the barriers so that cause a crash.

    Personally (unless it is very hot) I shall be one of the few who are not planning to stop, therefore I don’t want to appear rude when I go past.

    If we have our own fan base, even if it is other members of the NAS RL 100 team, please let us know where they are so that we can also wave as we go past.
