Ride London 100

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!

  • Hi Guys

    Hope everyone is enjoying the well earned taper and not too fed up with pasta as yet.

    I did the Surrey Hills section on Sunday and all is coming along well with the road repairs.  Abinger and Headley Down have been resurfaced and swept (unforunately not the full smooth tarmac, but its better than before) and there were warnings that there would be road repairs on Leith this week.

    Lots of competitors out trying the hills, with quite a few taking in the views at the top of the Box.

    Lets hope the weather is good and not as windy as last Sunday as it made the hills a lot more challenging.

    I am undecided as to whether I will wear the official jersey for most of the ride as it is very tight on the sleeves - will wear it for the finish line though.  If not I will be sporting the "Green Eggs and Ham" Dr Seuss top so do come over and say hello.

    All the best for Sunday
