There’s a local sportive happening soon (just over 3 weeks time) and I’d like to do it to see a bit more of the countryside around where I live while being guided and fed. At 125km and just over a 1000m of climbing it’s not the most demanding in the world. I’ve ridden the distance several times in the past, but it’s always been after a gradual build up to it over 6-8 weeks.
The last time I rode anything close to that distance was in September. In my place, would you have a go at riding the distance with just a couple of weekends to fit in a couple of longer rides?
I’ve been riding MTB and running XC over Autumn and Winter so it’s not like I’ve done nothing (more running in Winter and more MTB in the last few weeks since it got warmer).
