200mile ride attempt

[JasonHolder]

Conquered! Unfortunately phone died running into the last 35 miles.

And so with this, my base is coming to an end after a5ish weeks. Coming up is a recovery week and will be moving onto more specific speed work and hill work primarily.

Prep involved slipping 2 tubes and a pump into Jersey pocket.

Rode on perceived effort/ no HR power or speedo.

Great effort!


But get yourself a Garmin for your next big ride!

 

[JasonHolder]

Thanks mate! I will have to get one indeed.

Base hasn't gone as brilliant as I wanted it to or rather, would have liked to do my own workouts rather than all the 40mile commuts to work. That said, its all come together and I'm feeling strong as fark!

First stop at 70 mile point was the hardest to get going again from. After that, was just pounding the pedals hardcore

Chapeau. Been there, done that, somewhat slower.....

 

[JasonHolder]

I expected and would have been happy with 15ish mph.

Great effort and not too shabby average.

Ok OK, we've seen the ride. If peeps are really interested why not post it in "your ride today" thread.

What forum?

Over there.

CBA to link it.

You're ignored 400bhp. Go be arsy on someone else's thread. Simply showing base works. You should try it rather than talking crap and poking fun all the time.

Do you have any protein in your diet or just carbs?
