We are on a 14 week training schedule. This week is all about finding the right bike and gear. I've ridden a stationary bike for the last two days, just to get the feel of my target RPM's but am venturing out on Fletcher's bike later. My bike was stolen a few years back and I need to get a new one. Anyone have any tips on buying a new bike for a beginner/intermediate rider? I also need to get a trainer so I can do drills with one leg at a time. Can you say SORE LEGS AND BUTT?
Our national team consists of 12 riders from all over the country and Melissa in Canada. We've got a GI physician, a navy officer, and so many brave folks, most of who actually live with Crohn's. Melissa's husband has Crohn's and this is why she is involved. We are all training independently with weekly calls and status updates. We won't actually meet until we travel to Ontario in September.
From the Centurion site: "Centurion Cycling is North America’s most exciting, new bike adventure. Each Centurion has the look and feel of a European gran fondo. Riders are treated like professional cyclists. Traffic is restricted, technical and medical support are in the caravan, precise computer-chip timing determines exact finish times, and the food is excellent. The experience feels like riding in the Tour de France for a day.
The 50 and 100-mile courses feature significant climbing, providing a tough test for even the most seasoned amateur racers. But the Centurion seeding process, three distance choices, and a broad range of age-based categories encourage families and less-competitive riders to embrace this new challenge."Hmmm... Wow. I better stop typing and get on the bike!
