Sunday Training

By jdb - Posted on 21 September 2009

With only three weeks till the 24hr, I've got two big weeks of training left.

Saturday I'm doing a course with AMBC at Ourimbah on the SS.

I can't decide what ride to do on Sunday, I really need to test out the new bike, so the scum ride is probably my least preferred option but it would be nice to crack 400km for the week again.

Options I'm considering are:

  1. 6/7 hours at Ourimbah, Yellowmundee or Appin
  2. Oaks up and back x2
  3. Oaks and Andos up and back
  4. Beaches Hills Fest
  5. 220km scum with over 3000m climbing

Any interest in joining me for any/part of these rides?

Yeah... that is messed up... go Oaks & Andos up and back Eye-wink

Coming to Awaba Saturday as a warm up? Sadly I can't come on your Sunday epic as have more sedate plans...

To them they are soft.

The Oaks up and back x 2 is a really good solid work out I have done it a few times as training for the solo 24 and it would be my choice of your options.

Pity you weren’t looking to do this on Saturday otherwise I would say come along on my training ride which you could then do again which would give you a 150km mountain bike ride

I could make next Saturday, this saturday I've got a lesson booked with Brad Mertens on the SS at Ourimbah

Oaks up and back x 2 would work well, I can switch bikes at the halfway mark

See you bright and early next Saturday then.

Riding with Brad hmm so when will you be ordering a fixed wheel SS psycho cross bike to add to the quiver.

My SS commuter has a flip flop hub, I've got no plans to use the fixie side

Brad will be trying to convince me to use the SS for the whole of the 24hr, possibility for the easter aus champs. I will be doing the 8 1/4 on the SS.
