Any suggestions from you guys would be most helpful.

Trainning for the Mont
I have done a couple of Cross Country races over the years and I would consider myself to be reasonably fit at the moment. However I have felt fit going into a few races and then realised that maybe i don't have the staminar to go as hard as i planned.
Any how, I am keen to know what sort of trainning schedual some of you guys would apply 4 weeks before a race.
Embrace Quarry!
Part of my DW100 training goal is to not only make quarry track my friend, but to make it my bitch!
Thats the attitude you need to take with that pig of a climb 
I am (freaking out)
not enjoying this thread..it's freaking me out as now I about to embark on a panic about not doing enough riding - I can't commute to work and have to fit in riding around my other sports... Stuart... can we do the 50 again? that was just FUN!! (just joking!!!!)
DW100 - What is your weekly training schedule?
With 3 months until I head off at 6.30 in the morning from StAlbans for my first ever 100km event, I was wondering what training others put themselves through to ensure they finish well in these events.
My week consists of;
-45km round trip commute to work 4 days a week. one of mornings consists of a 65km ride to work.
-2 hour MTB ride on Wednesday & Thursday after work
-4 Hour MTB ride Saturday morning.. ie. 6+ laps of the dam or smashing myself at cascades etc.
-2 hour social pace MTB ride or 50km Road ride (depending on mood & company)
-Swim 1.5km twice a week (as recovery)
Hill training, Best Locations?
Hi,
I've just started a training program to get me fit for the Karopoti (50km) and Colville Connection (72km) both in March. Program is mixed between Road and Mtb sessions. As part of the Mtb training I need to do some hill climbing training to improve technigue and build strength, what are the best places to go for this?
Cheers,
Jay
Anyone interested in group exercise?
Hi all,
I need motivation to exercise and getting myself up at 5am to go for a road ride on my own doing the same route (because it's the only one I can do in the time I have) is not really exciting me. I'm too knackered at the end of a 35 degree day to do much (bar the group ride on Wednesdays). However, this and maybe a weekend ride if I can fit it in isn't really turning me into Cadel.
MTB: Lactate threshold (LT) training...
Found an interesting article on lactate threshold (LT) training.
I'm not seeing myself as an athlete (far from it), but I've been watching my heart rate more carefully over the last few rides. I've also started to read up on "best" heart rate range for my age, especially since I've watched my HR staying in the high 180's for > 20 mins during extended climbs on the recent Ourimbah night ride...
How do you guys prepare the week before the Fling
As the title suggests I am wondering specifically what sort of rides and for how long, will you do in the 7 days prior to the Fling on Sun week?
Do you ride on the weekdays in the last week? What sort of nutrition (eg magnesium supplements, etc) do you take if any?
I notice there is a six hour ride planned for Sat, is this too long so close to the race? I really have no clue, hence the questions.
Chiropractor recommendation - special offer this Saturday
There's been quite a bit of discussion recently about backs, knees, and general structural health of the body. I've been using a chiropractor for over 6 years now for body maintenance and 'structural' well-being. My chiropractor, Brett Grant follows a holistic approach to overall health and support of my sporting activities, and I highly recommend him.
He uses the Activator Technique, which I would describe as a low-impact method of alignment (he does an absolute minimum of traditional 'manipulation').
