Training 1

Hello

So ive been training for the Etape ride since new year, starting small with 20 miles rides with the Ythan club, building up to 40 miles.

Earlier this month I headed out to Deeside and did 60 miles up and over the biggest mountain pass out that way, Cairn O Mount. I managed the 60 miles in 4.5 hrs, so I was fairly happy.

This last weekend I did 78.5 miles from my house to Alford and back via another steep hill, I clocked just under 5 hrs, so really happy also.

So its all looking good, this week will be a quiet one, with a reccy of the 10mile time trial course on wednesday, ready for my first race of the season, man against clock for 10 miles, Im hoping to come in under 30 mins, the winners will be much closer to 20 mins.
