In training my average speed has been around 23kph on all of the routes. (That&#8217;s just over 14 miles an hour, G.) I have test-ridden the rides a few times and calculated (including my rest periods) approximate start times for each loop. I will be sticking as rigidly to that as possible with the proviso that mechanicals and logistical issues may change depending on the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For maximum endurance I need to keep my heart rate below 140bpm. If I go over that speed\/ heart rate I burn matches really quite quickly. So, if you&#8217;d like to ride along I will need you to ride at just my pace. Going faster doesn&#8217;t get me to 2130 any quicker, in fact it means I have to ride further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will unlikely be earlier that the times advertised and I will try to be rigid with my rest times. It would be best to be available 15 minutes ahead of time at my house. To keep up with my progress I will share a Strava beacon, my rides will automatically upload to Strava. There will be a telephone number for co-ordination that can be called. I won&#8217;t wait but if I&#8217;ve started ahead of you, you can chase me down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be brilliant to have chums share some of this with me as it has been your encouragement that got me on the bike in the first place. I can&#8217;t promise to be sparkling entertainment but I will promise to be grateful. If you are up for any of this then please fill in this <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/sbXXHcYcocUqqiDG6\">form<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am going to cycle from sunrise to sunset.
