Hey SK.

We did the 100km Great karri mtb ride earlier this year. It was mostly uphill & I was one of the slowest folks out there. It was a mixture of some sand, pea gravel, bitumen & singlegtrack.

It was hard but fun. Our coach checked my nutrition plan & what I ate worked well. I think for a 200km road ride I would eat-Vegemite sandwiches or Jam sandwiches, bananas, energy bar but would need to sit down & think about it.

In terms of doing long road rides now, that's not a problem. If i follow the bike path from my house to the city then end of the train line north it would be a 120km ride.

I could do the same off road-Srarting at John forrest to the dell & back is 100km.

Theoretically I could do both for training.

Thanks ladies.

SInce today was a public holiday I decided to do a long ride. It was only 101km(i was almost at my house & my odometer said 100.4km..i went around the block to equal 101km..)

My total average speed was 22km/hr & the ride took me 4hrs 31min. I stopped a couple of times-to have my banana, get more water & go pee..


I agree it's all in the mind..
