Hi all,
Only just found this sub-forum (by chance) and so have got some reading to do.
I am a member of a 6 man team doing JoG to LE at the end of this month.
I have done a fair amount of cycling though no other specific training. And due to a bereavement some of my Longer training rides were cancelled or reduced though i have cycled the best part of 40+ miles in one day in two separate stints
We have a couple of support vehicles and will be cycling lite. I can aveage 16 mph for 2-3 hours so whilst it will not be easy i am hopeful.
After all if it is easy it isn't a challenge.
But any tips on final preparation, or training packages I should consider in the remaining 3-4 weeks that i have left?
Also any tips, or kit recommendation that i should have to takee on the ride?
My Ride is a carbon frame with shimano Ultegra gear-set triple chain wheel and 11-28 cassette
Some one at work suggested e I should get another cassette for the hilly stages 12-32 or more. Thoughts? if so which one will be compatible for my group-set?
Another suggested that i should also get some aero-bars for comfort on the longer straight-ish stretches?
Again any comemts/suggestions.
Thank you
Adrian
