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!

  • Morning all.

    Firstly what a great weekend to get in some miles...the Surrey Hills were quite stunning.

    For those taking part that have not experienced the Surrey Hills you  are hopefully in for a treat.  Leith is definitely the real challenge, but with enough training and self believe you will get over it and enjoy the descentSmile

    Of course the challenge with the hills on the day will not be the hills themselves rather the sheer number on participants and their road etiquette.  Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

    My start time is 7.26 which is later than I would have hoped, but so be it.  Not expecting too much sleep that evening anyway due to excitement, so getting up shouldn't be a problem.

    I am doing this as my son is on the spectrum, specifically with Asperger's and was diagnosed before he was 5, although we became of his problems when he was 3.  He is now 12 and is doing really well at More House School in Farnham where they support boys that have a variety of learning issues...a fantastic school!

    My longest ride this was was 81 miles a few weeks ago and I have the Wiggle Magnificat next weekend, so I am hoping that I have put enough miles in the tank.

    Unfortunately, like Boris, I have been unable to attain the physique of the chiseled Whippet so will have to settle to something akin to an over-fed Dalmatian or Dogue de Bordeaux...hope the shirts are not too small Frown

    Looking forward to seeing you all on the day.

    Cadence up!
