Nervous…………
Friday, June 20th, 2008Tomorrow I am taking part in the Rob Roy Challenge this is a 16 mile cross country walk followed by a 39 mile cross country cycle in the Scottish countryside.
I’m at the stage now where I wish I had trained for it. The odd cycle and walking from the house to the car and back or between the hotel and work doesn’t really cut it.
Its been twenty odd years since I did much cycling and I had to buy a new bike about 5 weeks ago to be able to take part. Its a lot more uncomfortable than I remember it so I have invested in a split seat, gel cover for the seat and a proper pair of padded cycling shorts.
I also bought the clip in pedals and shoes that clip in as I was told it conserved your energy by 10%……..going to need that for these hills.
I will let you know how I survive and what lessons I can take from it to move forward to VHF.
