Yeah it's a charity ride. They actually do the whole thing start to finish as well as offering segments throughout which is what I'm doing. Definitely planning a couple of trips to the Surrey hills and that event looks ideal, so thanks for the tip!seatonsluicetoon wrote:Sounds brilliant. Are you doing the TDF stages for charity or just yourself? I think coming into Surrey for your training is sensible as that Berkshire countryside is pretty flat by comparison. I did Hampton Court to Reading via Henley in January and it felt like a walk in the park for a 50 miler. For £30 entry if King of the Downs coincides with your training I'd highly recommend it. It's a serious challenge.TommyToonAA wrote:That sounds like one hell of a route for the Evans event! I'm doing one of their ones around Windsor/Henley next month as part of my training but it's only 81 miles. Triathlon is a different beast altogether though so good luck with that! I'm on the endurance route... there are 4 stages of the tour de france in the summer calling my name! 2 in the mountains
I'm doing the Crystal Palace triathlon which is just a sprint distance but in my current state I'm going to be pushing to acheive that.
Good luck with the training/rehabilitation
