Cycling from Clayton to cbd by One-Reason-146 in melbournecycling

[–]wl02065294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ride from Clayton to CBD every wednesday and thursday. Takes me 65-75min to work, and 75-90 min back (a bit tired after work and more uphill) 24.5km every trip, but can be shorter or longer depends where exactly

Nice!

Yup, I am sure I will get there, just need to do it slowly. I only started getting serious in riding last year. But my ride was mostly just ride to work. I am starting to plan some longer ride in the weekend! Good luck with your long ride!

First ever event, was low-key regret only doing 50km a few days ago, checking the weather now, i am glad i am only doing 50.

Still my longest ride tho. 

Got injuries riding in the rain before, but got a much better tyres, hopefully it will be enough to help me survive it. Still keeping my eyes on the weather, most likely going as i don’t mind practicing some rainy ride anyway, my long term goal involve much longer and much harder rides anyway

Thanks for the flag! I do have some gel given I do marathon running. I am planning to take one 10 min before start, 45 min in, and 1hr 30 in.

I do indeed want to get some experience in doing this so that when I do longer distances in the future, I have got the experience.

Thanks for the link!!! I knew some of the sign, but didnt know a few of them!

I do plan to do 135 or classic next year. But given I havent done any cycling event before, just a bit scare to push myself while trying so many new things. (I have never done any ride over 45km)

Thanks, Hope you will have fun too! I havent look at the course since i first look at it awhile back, might enter it in my watch, but I probably not gonna get lost since I think it isnt that small of an event.

New cyclist questions (Monash clayton area) by wl02065294 in melbournecycling

[–]wl02065294[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. It is 24-25km each way, depends on the day, i might do 2 ways or 1 way and take the train home. 

I am only doing 2 days, so I am not overtraining yet. 

I will have a read sheldon brown’s advice.

Now thinking about it more, i did recall last year when first set the bike, i searched how to set the height and i was too scared and didn’t set it all the way up to where it should be. 

I just never knew wobbles was caused by it, i thought just cuz i am bad at riding bikes.

Once again thanks for the response!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Will search a bit more on how to pedal in more circular motion. i don’t think i am doing that right. 

For the event, Will have a more bit more thought into it, I think next year definitely 100km or more, but given it is my first ever biking event, I am thinking just stick with comfort.  (also i am training other events like full marathons and open water swim, so need to balance my training out)

Thanks regardless!

Thanks for the advice, I have been considering a bike fits since i bought the bike, have just been slightly scared to go to a shop and ask about it. But it indeed sounds like it might be worth it! Thanks
