The Marmotte was my main target for this year and now I am suffering a bit from post goal gloom...what to do next.
Actually I already had an inkling from a conversation back on our club tour in France. Ours being the club it is the topic of time trialling had come up at some point or other (not sure why) including 12 hours. This are rarities and our senior mens club record (247 miles) is a bit special for a couple of reasons: it was set back in 1977 (not quite as old as the woman's which dates back to 1964!) and the record for a junior is actually more (255 miles).
Struck me that the 247 miles does not seem so far if you think of it as just being a bit more than 20mph. The problem is the 12 hours bit. However have done day long rides before and reckon I might be able to cope with doing 12 hours non-stop.
Only one way to find out so I have entered an event on 17th August. Just happens to be the National Championships so will be interesting.
Got some good advice that will need a helper to feed and encourage me so I have roped in Master Miff to come along as well..
