Navias007 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Hi Fellow Hubbers, Due to business constraints I have not been able to train for the 94.7 road cycle challenge this year. Is it still possible to finish the race considering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted October 21, 2015 Share Yup. Go out slow, take it easy in the middle and taper off towards the end. QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottCM Posted October 21, 2015 Share Possible, Yes My cousin has done this the past two year, He doesn't own a bike so he borrows one and completes it in just under 7hours. Take it slow and keep moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted October 21, 2015 Share If you are generally fit, healthy, have minimal complaints and a positive attitude then yes. It is very easy. If you are hugely obese, have heart problems, cannot walk up 3 flights of stairs, have diabetes and resemble Jabba the Hut then I would say probably not. Really though, close this thread, go and ride and if you finish you finish and if you fail you fail but do it for you, because you want to. Fit guys fail, weaker people prevail.

scotty Posted October 21, 2015 Share Doubt you will be winning any strava segments, its going to be a long day in the saddle with times you might feel you want to give your bike away during the ride but it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabsandals Posted October 21, 2015 Share Stop for the free beers and shots, ride with mates. You won't even feel it (ok, your arse will hurt a little (a lot)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted October 21, 2015 Share It's easy. The 94.7 is all downhill, so just slip into the A group, hook onto the wheel of the front guy, and let him pull you all the way. Don't forget to attack on the last climb. In the real world ~ 7 hard hours in the saddle ~ if that's your idea of fun then go for it. In my opinion it's a stupid thing to do.

Dirkitech Posted October 21, 2015 Share Hi Fellow Hubbers, Due to business constraints I have not been able to train for the 94.7 road cycle challenge this year. Is it still possible to finish the race considering?I didn't cycle since early July because of a car accident. I got on the bike saturday and did 38km with the mtb- the only problem was muscle fatigue from riding hard and in the end my butt hurt a lot. If you can prepare for those two things, you should make the 94.7 road race. good luck sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
