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!

  • Bananas and jelly babies are great sources of energy. I have a fairly early start 6:38, which means I will be getting up at 2:30 so energy boosts welcome! 

    Training is going well, my biggest ride to date is 78 miles, but I am sure with the opportunity to draft, we will all be fine on the day. 

    I did the London Brighton a few weeks ago and rode up ditchling beacon, so box and leith are just going to be speed bumps with attitude. 

    Looking forward to meeting the team, and proud to wear the NAS team shirt. My youngest daughter has Aspergers and ADHD, and we suspect my little boy has ADHD. So they are my inspiration! 

    Is anyone else in the 6:38 blue start? All my training buddies have got different starts Frown

    i still have some fund raising to do but I am on target, I found out yesterday that some people prefer good old fashioned paper sponsorship forms rather than online payment methods! 

    Anyone in the Bedfordshire area who wants to go for a training ride let me know

    Good luck to everyone Smile
