Re: BB200: Newcomer (to that)

I’d suggest you fine a long hill with no obvious path on it.

Make your bike really heavy

Put a hose pipe in your shoes to fill them with water

Then go push your bike up that hill 20 times at 3am in the morning.

Don’t be tempted to ride down you need to find a hill you have to push down also.

I did the Garmin ride a few weeks ago just before the Tour of Britain went out. I rode with 3 pros (I say rode with, I desperately hung on at threshold while they chatted politely) One thing that sort of blew my mind was not the pace (they were going easy but it was still quick) but the fact the pac...

Re: BB200 planning

Think I’m getting too blasé about this stuff.

Not looked at the route yet or the weather (although I take it rain is expected)

It will be what it is.*

Re: Head torch recommendations

Used an old Alpkit gamma to run in dark last year when Marathon training. Out of all my head torches it worked best for running because of the middle strap.

Re: Sdw

Traditional way is Winchester to Eastbourne if one way

It’s 100 miles each way

Although if you’re gonna double then can’t see why it would matter where you start
