What kinda milage per week should a person be looking at in Dec

 

350 good enough

[Wyatt Earp]

What about the corrugations on the last bazillion ks of district road? always wandered how they feel on a rigid...?

 

I will be honest, at that stage the hands are very sore and it was difficult to find a smooth line.

Don't chase mileage chase time , get in the mountains and do long hours

How is everyones training going?

 

Training is useless unless you get the nutrition and rest parts right.

 

I have been concentrating on the latter two........

I still haven't decided whether I'm taking the SS down or the XC bike but I'm leaning towards the XC bike.

ill take a hybrid, rigid fork but keep the gears for now, will add 1x10 later, HTFU in small doses.

Then I'm spot on. Maybe even over "trained" at the moment

[milky4130]

Going with gears. 1X10 on a hardtail. 36 on the front and 11-36 rear. I already know that I will be walking the hill I have never managed to ride but the rest should be fine. Will be a good test!!

you must be talking about the hill everyone walks, yes everyone even the pro's do.

Not all, if you look on the far left, there is a little track the pros ride it out

Getting excited for this one!!

[jugheaddave]

Would Maxxis ikons be strong enough for this race??

Yes, they will do

[Jewbacca]

My training is involving a moonboot, crutches and multiple fractures in my right ankle.... All booked but I may have to ride this year with gears... 2 months getting fat and unfit watching the leg whither away isnt ideal leading into this!

 

Good luck almal...

[leona]

Filled with dread

[burty]

Im also considering running Ikons front & back for better rolling or leaving ardent front & Ikon back combo for extra grip. 1st time so I suppose Im over assessing everything. Feeling undertrained ......
