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!

  • The jersey is really stylish (thanks Kate) - I couldn't resist wearing it for my training ride this morning. Today I took in lots of the west London parts of the route, including the finish along the Mall (both directions), Richmond Park, Kingston Bridge and Hampton Court. It was good to see all the yellow 'Cycling event 3/4 August - Road Closed' signs posted.

    I've got a start time of 07:22 - quite late but not as late as Marc; I hope that doesn't mean they expect us to end up in the broom wagon! I'm aiming for 6h30m or thereabouts, including plenty of refuelling stops.

    Recovery mode for the rest of today - watching the Ashes match and Cav making it five in a row on the Champs-Élysées.
