Sitting on the Bluebridge, heading for another brevet. Maybe less nervous than before for Megagrind but also maybe less well trained!
What with recovering from the Megagrind and lots of house-related jobs, November and December were not training high points. I seized the opportunity to do the St James and Queen Charlotte over Christmas but my only long ride’s been (a very windy!) South Coast loop. Hopefully the legs remember what’s what.
January’s been a big bike maintenance month. Bottom bracket, headset bearing, brake pads, and tyres replaced plus associated servicing. Hopefully the new rear rim proves more durable than its two cracked predecessors.
I’ve also gone back to my old shoes, with a custom footbed, thanks to another bikefit from Capital Cycles.
Top worries about this event: heat, big days, traffic and wind!
Worry management strategy: start out easy (only aiming for Pelorus Bridge on day 1), new orange hot weather top, remember worries fade when you start!
Good on you Amanda! I like your worry management strategy. Enjoy the ride 😎
