Century ride Sat 8th 9:30am?

I missed out on the group century ride to Malvern that was put on last week ( I tried to catch them up with no joy) but am looking to do it again Saturday, to get some more miles in my legs for the Audax in a few weeks time. If anyone is u...

Because it's a circuit, you'll experience the wind from all directions, so it will cancel itself out to some extent. Also, you don't want to go too fast the first time in case you don't leave room for improvement next week! I like your thinking, give myself something to aim for at least! What time ...

Unfortunately I cant do tomorrow as im looking after my barmy little bro whilst my mom is away. Im going to be doing the 100 miles in 8 hours ride next week, although I am going...
