Do you all ride as one group or are you split into different ones? Well done on your first day by the way.

Yes it is . Who are the frnds ? I will say hi to themIs it a ride for The British Legion, if so two good friends are doing it as well starting tomorrow.
I have uploaded another thread on day one it was amazing and challenging@Bhitucyclist - how did you get on on day 1?
Hi all its me again. Finally its done.
Day 2 was actually harder than day 1 ... lots of hills and the wind was against us.
Day 3 was the most enjoyable day. The distance started reducing and much less hilly.
Day 4 was a bit nerve wrecking as it was tightly timed. The motorcycle outrides do a rolling road closure for us and we have to keep up to our slot of entering the Arc.
I realised my training though it was helped on long hours on the saddle was completely inadequate for going up the hills. It was a struggle for me to go up the steep hills wo help from ride captains.
But the bigger issue i had was coming downhill ... when the road ahead was a zigzag. I was completely freaked out as it was too fast for me ... i kept on braking and kept falling behind the groups . Just couldnt let go of my fears! Its a learning... i have to work on ... any tips ? Welcome
Well done, great effort. I hope you had a blast. As for the down hill thing, just go at whatever speed you are comfortable with. There's no real need to be freaked out on a bike.Hi all its me again. Finally its done.
