Getting sciency is my thing though!
Seriously though, I'm not intending to take the trip seriously at all, I'm planning to enjoy every scenic km. I do however also like a challenge and a project, so I'll also enjoy the training.
Cutting alcohol is purely a benefit as I've begun to realise how tired it makes me. Combined with how much I work, that's not a healthy mix. I'm cutting mid week booze until Christmas and then no booze in 2017.
I'm looking forward to this in a geeky way.
Would be good to have your thoughts, especially on the benefits of weights/off bike work on injury prevention.
Cheers
TTM-
I pretty much cut out booze for the last two months while training for hill climbs. Totally worth it. It's easy when you consider the turbo the morning after a drink will be a waste of time and a drink in the evening after a session will ruin your recovery while sleeping. Had a big effect I reckon. Feel way better in general too. The weight will be much easier to loose while off the sauce.
Last race was in Sunday. I filled my head with Guinness and felt well wonky yesterday.

My first comment would be not to take it all too seriously and getting too sciencey. If you're going on a mates trip with Benj and co there's no point ruining your life (aka cutting beer) for it. You're a strong and fit rider. You just need to adapt that to the unique demands of riding uphill for a long time.
Will get back to you with some better comments when i have a bit more time
