Training

Well just a small update on what I have been doing up to this point we started out on some steady rides back in May 14-15 miles and fairly flat, when we have had the chance a few of us have been out and built up to 25 miles with some hill's included.
For myself a person that hadn't ridden a bike for 15 years this has been OK I'm not the fittest person by any means (years of abuse in the pub only held at bay by footy on a Thursday and as many Mondays as work will allow) but as long a Doug didn't see any hills (he has a crazy idea that hills are there to be ridden up) the pace felt right.
The idea is to up the mileage at a steady rate until were doing between 45-50 miles regularly just before the ride, this SHOULD get us somewhere near prepared for what is to come.

As we all have lives,loved ones and families getting the time to get out as a group has proved difficult but I know that all the lads are determined to complete this challenge and more to the point do it as a team ( which is great for us unfit one's when it comes to the hills, I have a tow rope).

Any way as I said just a quickie to get things started and hopefully there will be more from the other lads and pic's to follow........
