Comments: The A-road surface was smooth, but we were on other roads most of the time. Passing terrific scenery. The weather seemed just right, dry, not too hot. I went faster than expected, perhaps because I'd rested well and I was racing, not simply working out. What would you do differently?: Next year I will take the day off and go for the 62.5 mile [100 km] need to train to build legs and speed ![]() Post race
Warm down: Stretching in the now hot sun eatting Lion Bar, bananas and lots water supplied by event organiser What limited your ability to perform faster: strength perhaps bike perhaps Event comments: It was the first Pembrokeshire Cycle Challenge, organised by Tenby and Saundersfoot Lion, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Relief [£1,200 so far for this event] There were lots of volunteers, some very well organised, others seemed asleep - best to know your route and not wait for them to point it out, I saw several take wrong turns. I'm sure this event is going to grow in poopularity, [oops] Last updated: 2006-05-03 12:00 AM

taper? the weeks exercise
The start point is only 10 miles from home
Awoke 7am, had scrambled eggs on toast, slowly got ready putting car on car etc.
As I didn't think I'd have time I din't plan to shower afterwards at the Liesure Centre. Wished afterwards that I'd planned to wash there and not at home.
Overcast weather to start, just kept warm.
Planned to warm up on the ride itself - this wasn't done properly.
