As Carl has said, it's just nine weeks until we start our ride of DOOM! I've started to incorporate bike rides into my daily commute - I live in Bulli, about 75km south of where I work in Pyrmont, Sydney. I've not cycled the entire way as Bulli sits at the bottom of a 500m pass, but I have done various parts of it - last week was Helensburgh to Pyrmont, just under 70km when you factor in getting lost on the way... That, along with a couple of other rides, added up to a 230km week which I was quite pleased with. Still a long way to go though, if we're going to do 1000km in 8 days we need to be up around the 600-700km per week mark in training by the beginning of October.
I still want to lose a heap of weight leading up to the ride, if I can drop 4 or 5 kilos in those 9 weeks it will make climbing hills a lot easier.
Up and at 'em.
Paul
