Enough verts. The loop has about 500m of elevation. Twice a week while Felix is swimming, I do ride up loops of the local DH tracks.lots of KM with verts? without verts lots of km are not so useful...crank up the climbs, i know a spot. oh and the downs are good too.
Nah. Planning a couple of big Harcourt and You Yangs days at some stage.Yeah for the hot lap. Fair enough.
Got something else moar XC to ride to mix it up?
I’ll work up to some 50km ish rides soon. Try to do a couple of days in a row. I’ll be better prepared than either of the TransNZ’s, though it’s a bit tougher and I’m a bit older. If the back holds up, I’m confident I’ll get through.Sounds like you’re putting yourself in a good place @moorey, nice one. The high intensity stuff is good in lieu of being able to spend all day on the bike. The TransTas days will have lots of VM but all you have to do is get up them, you’ll be fine if you keep this work rate up for the next 8 weeks.
Cough - ebike - CoughPouring rain at 5.30 so I ditched morning loop, but decided to go to work OVER the mount rather than around it. Only added 5km, but almost 300m elevation. May have been a little late to work...

You’ve changed, man. I better sell me that torrent.Cough - ebike - Cough
Yeah, can’t complain (though I get complacent and lazy). Dozens of good trails for 100’s of km at my actual doorstep. I’ve got no excuse for being unfit, though I always manage to find some.Not jealous of the 5:30 and rain, but very jealous that you've got some vert nearby to train on. I've got nothing within a 45 min drive
Do it. You’re only a week behind in prep and probably starting from a better base than me.If anyone is still keen to enter email megan@ridingbc.com I enquired about volunteering recently and she said there were still spots available if I wanted to give it a crack. Don't think my legs, back and butt could manage the 5 days though with the small amount of riding I've been doing lately.
