Be careful what you sign!

Being a bit "not awake" this morning, hubby gets me to sign an entry form he's completed for me.
It wasn't until later that I read the small print to discover that it was 113KM Audax event :shock: :shock: :shock:

Given that my sum total mileage to date is
one ride of 20 miles
one ride of 40 miles (but I did have flu and problems breathing and completed it in a respectable time :lol: )

so maybe, just maybe :lol:

:? :?

  • ouch... that sounds really bad... what if you die???... what if your bike falls apart???... what if you don't make it and everyone laughs at you???...

    only kidding, i'm sure you'll do fine and it isn't the worst distance. good luck to you- but you won't need it!

    And I just said "good luck" (with acknowledgement to Mr Dylan).

    When is it? Try to build up the mileage slowly and you should be fine. If it is hilly make sure to get a bit of hill practice in.

    112/3km = 70 miles so you have already done over half the distance with an illness, you should be OK.
