JulesV Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 So two training weeks to go really, what are you guys doing? Personally I try and do killarney + race over the weekend or killarney + intervals over the weekend with riding to work easy pace on Mondays and Fridays - enough you think?
Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Killarney? Please share, is this track?

Enough to ride 109km - undoubtedly
Breezer Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) We did a 133km this weekend. Including Van Rhynspas. About 800m of vertical climbing and a maximum gradient of 23%. I can feel it in my legs this morning. Edited February 21, 2011 by Breezer

jarek.pski Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 After work 20-30km daily (Mon-Fri) and around 150km during weekend (with one of the days over 100km at once) I'm a noob when it comes to cycling but I hope this is also enoughAm also doing the Carnival City Macsteel race this coming weekend
JulesV Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Enough for what exactly? Enough to ride 109km - undoubtedly Ah yes, suppose I had to be a bit more specific. The distance is no problem, I need to up the intensity/speed at which I can cover that distance?

jarek.pski Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 For a noob, that sounds impressive! :clap: Noob meaning I've only gotten on a bike starting January this year...

NeverEnder Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I have heard all this talk about carbo loading & that you get fit when you rest. So I am going to drink lots of beer while lying on the couch. I feel a sub 3 coming!
kosmonooit Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I've been doing a fair of amount of commuting and MTB events (and Sabie coming up this weekend) but havent ridden my road bike for yonks, hopefully a whirl of Suikerbosrand this week if I can manage to skive off work.

Come do the Bay City this weekend.. More than enough climbing to get you interested and see how your legs are doing.
kosmonooit Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks but I think I am going to get lots of climbing action on the Sabie Classic although I will have the luxury of those low mtb gears.
