Some good news is my old buddy Mike McCarthy, who is former World Pro Pursuit Champ, and just won the M45-49 World Pursuit Championship is going to try and join me and do a pursuit attempt just before me (which means hopefully sharing some of the costs but also some added organising).
Sat – a triple workout day – 40mins prebreakfast with the altitude simulator TT bike, then 2:15
before lunch, half with the simulator on my track bike, then 1:15 with the simulator before supper with the powercranks bike on the rollers.
Sunday – about 2:45 road ride with hills; a bit tired after Sat.
Then Sunday afternoon packed the bikes and bags – still a few things to arrive yet. Orders of tires, etc, coming in, got some Miche Pista Aero cranks from David McQuaid of DMC sports. Got some riser/shims from John at Redwood Designs, got some tools and glue from various places.
Thanks Diarmuid Kavanagh for helping out with the bikes and various things.
Leaving Wednesday.
