  • Well I can't say that I'm a huge expert. Aim for 85% of ftp for the first hour and build from there if you can I guess.

    Nutrition is the tricky bit - how often, how much.

    Have to say I do like 100s, at the end of the day it's only a 4/5 hour ride which most people are capable of.

  • Might start at 80%. I'll be pretty tired. Rather build and see how it goes, than blow.
    That reminds me, I need to actually test my bladder inside skinsuit thing.

    @mdcc_tester I'm using a bladder down the chest. Like a colostomy bag.
    I'll remember to torque up my seatpost a bit more. And maybe my handlebars. And maybe put a cushion on my armrests.

  • You really do need to test that! I need to order another 1ltr bottle too actually. And make sure it fits my bottle cage. And buy gels.

  • You have to ride yourself into a state were you to do an 200km audax a week after you would be an ideal 14-15mph moped for me. True story, happened last year with a rider I mostly saw only briefly on other events. He was well knackered still.
