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 ??

Oooh, no! Just be careful..you might be over-trained by Saturday . We recommend a week of rest and tapering .
WaldoZ Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Oooh, no! Just be careful..you might be over-trained by Saturday . We recommend a week of rest and tapering . I need to beat The Captain...I recommend long rides with lots of climbing... don't rest at all... don't even sleep...
EwaldScheepers Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Is there a time cut off for this event, I'd be happy getting it over in 7h!

mrcg Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 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
mrcg Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 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... Gravel Travel Events 1
