Finally a training update!
Posted by: menno

 La Marmotte - 174km cycle, 5180m ascent 70% of the target and only a few weeks to go! If you haven't yet, you can help me reach the target here. Thanks to all of you who got it to 70%, EveryChild will be well chuffed.

Things have been super hectic lately, so not had time to update my exciting training blog. But in a word, cycling! All free time has been cycling :)

Two weeks ago, along with my cycling buddies from work and some fellow Marmotters, I successfully completed the HighClere sportive. That was a long time in the saddle, almost 8 hours and after 205km it was nice to see the finish line. But with heavy rain predicted all day, thunder & lightning all night and pouring rain while we drove there, we were really lucky it stayed dry, apart from a short spell of hail.

The route climbed 2500m, so not a bad training ride for the Marmotte. Since then I've just been cycling into work as much as possible.

No other training rides planned yet, but not long to go, and after all this cycling I think I did slightly underestimate how much training was involved to even attempt the Marmotte!

PIctures to follow soon.

Rides done in Switzerland can be seen at the below links, any excuse for a new gadget :)

Day1 (includes half km from velodrome next day, as I was figuring out how to
reset the route...)
