Hi I new to this site

Ive recently signed up for the British Heart Foundation Ride of the roses cycle challenge, which is 100 miles.

I tend to cycle for leisure so not sure if Im out of my depth.

Did anyone do it last year?
If so I have a month and a half to get some training in, so any tips would be much appreciated.

Charly,

Advice:

This is a project - it needs managing
Join the Clifton
Pump up your tyres
Join the club ride every Saturday from Exhibition Sq - details on main site
Build up the miles
Ride some hills
Plan the big ride - plan your breaks - split it into chunks
Drink before you're thirsty
Eat before you're hungry

Enjoy yourself

R
