My first 200k Audax Tomorrow

Through the South Downs from Steyning (strong southerly predicted!).

Hmmm... a very long way.

Probably a good idea. Most I've done was 130k. I thought you were quite
experienced when it came to long rides, or do I have you confused with
someone else?

I am not a mega long range rider, the most I have ever done in one go is
135miles, Morecambe to Scarborough, pretty much non stop. I have done loads
of touring doing 80 -110 miles each day but that was over 10 years ago. I
tend to get stale and bored as the summer progresses and have a break in the
winter so I need to build up again in the spring. This/last year I had a lay
off in September and October then have been steadily doing about 140 miles
per month from November until now. I am not ready for 200Km at the moment,
could probably do 100 off the bat. The weather here in Yorkshire is cool at
the moment and I don't really want to be out for over six hours a day.

Me too. I aim to do my first by 2030.

No, it's four rides of 50k, one after another.

Much easier that way.


Seriously, don't look at the big picture, treat each leg as a separate
event. 50K? Do it on your head. Don't forget, eat before you ghet
hungry, drik before you get thirsty.

Really? That's good. I'm doing the Doset Coast in April (and I know that's a
hilly one)

Me too

-- so Steyning is to build up for it.

See you there for a cuppa (blue Specialized thingy).

Good luck, hope you're not heading south too much, it was a bit of a
grueller this morning at 0600 commuting only 1 mile direct into south
wind.
