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!

  • Patrick,

    Fitted a new chain at the weekend, so all I need to do now is possibly take a link out of the chain and fit my new 10 speed 11-23 tooth cassette which arrived today. 

    I am going out for a 38 mile ride tonight with the local chain gang (albeit the slow group this time) and then I shall be resting.  Hopefully I will then be ready to dance on the pedals up Leith Hill and sprint along the Mall at 30 mph!

    Now looking forward to meeting you all at the end of the ride.

    PS. I understand that we may even have our own special pit stops at 30 and 80 miles, however this has not been confirmed yet.
