it is a mass tour , totalling about 1500 cyclists!woow!
Early Sunday morning, at 330 am i will catch the organiser bus to Brisbane, where the start will be from the Botanical Garden at 630am.
The course is rolling hills, but very hilly in the middle section, where we will be traversing the Glass House mountains.
There are 3 stops on the way for drinks refuel, but cyclists have to be on the move all the time ,because of the sheer number of participants.Also, there's a bare requirement that all need to cycle at least 25km/hr.
sounds easy enough..but in reality, it's hard because of the wind n hilly terrains that we will be encountering.
I haven't done any 100km ride since the IM race! haha..but i think i have enough experience to gauge my pace n make sure i don't bonk during the ride.
Hey! check out my race number 1111 :) i should ask Dad to buy 4D !
i am a total wimp when it comes to cold weather.
My lips go purple, my fingers n toes just freeze, and i can't concentrate!
today, i went to get some arm warmers, full finger gloves n the toe covers for my cycling shoes!
haha.....
it's getting very chilly in the morning n night time.
tonight , i will sleep like a baby :)

Vests help and can be quickly shed or unzipped when it gets warm. Sugoi makes a good one. Key areas are totally made of mesh for cooling; the front is a wind-blocking fabric. If memory serves, it also has a high collar to shield the neck area from wind.
Pearl Izumi makes awesome thermal tights and gloves for cold weather.
Ear muffs help for really cold weather. Some attach to your helmet straps (called Helmuffs).
Some people wear an ultra thin coolmax skullcap under their helmets. Some manufacturers offer inserts to block helmet vents to reduce the heat loss.
A old credit card / ATM / debit / phone card taped under your insole helps prevent the cleats from sucking body heat to the bike frame (which acts as one giant heatsink, if made of metal).
Enjoy the century!
