BEAT THE UNBEATABLE... I entered this morning, looks like an amazing event - I have 5 days to train, any recommendations ? .........I believe the route is mostly flat, so I guess a few road rides, or two spinning classes at best, should do the trick ??

mrcg Posted February 18, 2019 Share Favourable weather??? Temps going up to 30C is not very favourable in my books.Unless favourable refers to: best conditions for proper suffering!? Gravel Travel Events 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcg Posted February 18, 2019 Share I'm under-cooked at the moment....but will be there. Salivating for the descents....fearing the ascents....and will probably be swearing at myself for doing this on mountain climb 4 and 5...
