Long distance rides question..

[crazycanuck]

Hey,

Just wanted to ask about longer distance rides. I know we have some funky long distance ladies & would like some input.(Nanci where are you???)

I was at the Audax site (http://www.audax.org.au/calendar.asp) and saw a 100km ride in Feb and April I think i could do. 200km is a bit frightening & am worried i'll be the slowest one out there. There is one in September but the site says it's actually 250km

If I am doing around 200km/wk but my afternoon ride home is max 50km and my speed/time/distance is still a bit shaky, would it be a good idea? Which of the three would be most important to work on first?

I'd like to do longer rides but would love some input.

What did you long distance ladies work on??? I'll go and search earlier threads as my answer may be lurking.

(K..i found the ultracycling site.. )

Thanks for your help.
