trouble ahead

It's now over a month since I outlined my 2016 plans: get fitter, do more on testability.

What's the progress?

I've got a place on the 2016 Fred Whitton Challenge, which is widely regarded as the hardest one-day "fun" ride in the UK.

Having done it in 2014, I am minded to concur


That time 4 people got helicoptered off; I have no intention of qualifying for the same transport this year.

Instead: I now have to get fit enough to do 110 miles up 30% gradients, when I'm currently fit enough to do 25-30 miles.

In 10 weeks.

  1. I signed up for two imperial centuries in May, but neither have much climbing. Did two 40mi rides last week, just getting the feel for the bike again.
