Better Prepared

Instead of just jumping in like last year, I have decided to follow my wife’s sage advice and do some less arduous mtb races before the big one in September.

This series seems the ideal opportunity with the marathon distance being 100km

giving me a test if around 6 hours and testing the bike and my maintenance

skills.

Think i need to learn to change at least three sets of brake pads without taking too long to do it. A wet weekend in Wales should be an ideal “dry” run. It will also be a good pointer of how the winter training has gone.
