I learned or was reminded of a few things on my ride yesterday:
- Lost a lot of fitness over the last three months
- Good endurance, but slower
- Need to work harder when training on-bike
- No substitute for climbing (running hills simulates climbing)
- Mechanically sound bicycle makes for a happier journey
- Need a tune-up before shipping bike
- Mentally prepared for the daily grind, otherwise I would have stopped after problems
- I am over training, not having fun on the bike - hated my bike yesterday
- Reduce on-bike training, more cross training
- Need to use my own Facebook account to post comments/rides
All that said, I need to remember that C2C is a tour, not a race.
If I ride it like I have suggested, I am ready for the C2C challenge.
