And about 8 3/4 hours later with an extra 200k on the clock. |
Hi
Over the last few weeks I have been finishing off my recumbent bike by painting the steel bits, fitting a speedo, fitting a drink bottle holder, adding an extra bit to the boot lid, repainting some of the wooden seat assembly, removing the padding under my bum and installing a schlumpf mountain drive. The bike looks good and goes well which is necessary!
In order to have a ghost of a a chance of finishing the
GSR 1000 ride which is 1000 k over 3 days and 3 hours I have been training harder than I ever have. For these distances, 200 k is just a warm up and 300k a training ride. More on this later, but here are a few happy snaps!
