Training For Long Rides/Races

StuAblett

Hello everyone, I had the idea after reading TRHuston post on the Welcome thread, I thought it might be a good idea to put up a thread about "Training" for long rides, tips and tricks for getting ready for these demanding types of rides. I know I've seen lots of posts here and there about it, but I thought it might be a good resource for the group to have them all in one thread?

Cheers!

Great idea, Stu! I know I was on here a lot last summer while training for my first centuries (metric and miles). I did intervals once a week, tempo rides, and long slow distance to get the bum accustomed to the saddle...
