just done 84 miles on the track. 4.40, 536 laps.134 K
as a motivator to schools that are doing www.thebigpedal.org.uk
todays stage is 84 miles so thats what i rode.
got through 129 laps in the first hour, and then hit the 200 in 1.45.pretty easy.
third hundred was just grafting.
kids from local school came along and cheered me on at 345 for a while which was great.
My Rossin is brutally stiff so I swapped for a Dolan just to change the saddle really.
Last 100 I counted down and had to dig in a bit. strange how minimal it is just going round and round and gives a slight flavour of what it might be like to do those silly/ long races.
anyway stoked to make it in 4.40, slightly over time but still had a few miles to get in for last bit of work. good spring training ride
