2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted March 20, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Double crikey. Group 2 with Davie B. I'm a dead man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Andy, Given my recent travails it's against my better judgement that I didn't withdraw and still no great shakes fitness wise but am of the opinion that if you get a start you should start unless you really can't. In no way an expert at this but a few tips: 1. Don't burn up too much nervous energy; 2. Don't close every wee gap - see above also; 3. It's an APR so if your feeling good do some work at the front, no point everybody sitting in in an APR - defeats the purpose, the worst that can happen is it's a good workout; 4. Shelter from cross winds - remember the coast on Sunday!; 5. Watch the wheels and those about you - it maybe competitive but at the end of the days it's a bit of fun and important to go home in one piece. 6. Enjoy. Weather looks shocking which is my biggest concern! See you Saturday. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Davy says enjoy yourself and do same preparation as u would do for a Sunday run not the time to change your routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
