How many laps is that?

An appropriate name considering I am, with your help, going to be raising much needed funds for the Alzheimer's Society

What y' doing? I'm racing in the UK's inaugural Solo Mountain Bike Championships this weekend. It's a 24hr race starting at midday 22 May.

Why? My father has been diagnosed with Dementia & a rare form of dysphasia

Where? It all takes place at Scotland's southern most 7Stanes trail center at Newcastleton, 

Training ? (UPDATED 19th May 2010)

Well, that's it for now. I rode on Saturday (4.5hrs) and Monday (4.5hrs) and my legs are still sore - not a good sign at all.

The training has been done, the pre-race events raced and the whole thing has not come together!

2 weeks off the bike in Feb' then 3 weeks with a swollen knee at Easter (it's still causing some concern and twinges) and then 2 weeks of a stinking cold at the end of April / start of May have conspired to put a huge spanner in my hopes and expectations. This is the Pete Tong training schedule!

So, I'll go, ride and see how many hours I can manage on the bikes around the course. Realistically, 12hrs. I had hoped for 17hrs.
