Hi,
Got my first 200km audax on the 19th June, have only done 100km so far, regularly cycle 50-75 mile rides at least once a week with shorter distances interspersed.
What tips can you guys give for successfully completing the next distance? I'm having real trouble pacing myself slowly, on the last audax I average 26.1km/h which is way too fast and my legs were pretty sore when I finished the audax. I don't know if the bike encourages me to go faster or whether it's all in my head. I'm finding it hard to train myself to go slower as well?!
I'm gonna have a go at cycling 100 mile distances over the next couple of weeks which will be enough milestone in itself, but probably won't actually cycle 200km til the day of the event!
Thanks in advance,
Jon.
