June 28 300

[Dan Spence]

Hey guys. Rando rookie here. 

On the Edmonton ride schedule there's a 300 on June 28th. 

Just wondering if anyone plans on riding it. I sure definitely do. Sounds like Jeff is tweaking a route. 

Also any tips or hacks on a 300? What I've read on the internet it's a" tough ride "compared to a 4 or 6. 

Thx Dan S

Hi Dan: In my opinion the 300 is not harder than a 4 or 6. I find the 4 is the toughest ride of the brevet series. Without knowing your cycling background the three primary areas to focus on are : Pace, Nutrition and Hydration. Pace should be measured in terms of effort, not speed or time. Staying in your aerobic zone is key. Weather and terrain can wreak havoc on your speed and time. If you have juice in the bank you can punch things up the back 50 or so. Nutrition becomes a personal thing and you need to experiment with what works for you. If you have specific questions fire away, there is lots of experience in the club

Dan,

I recommend an early start (5 or 6am), so greater chance to get the ride complete in daylight hours. Will need front and back lights. From what I experienced with you on the 200, you stayed ahead in your fluids and nutrition. Hopefully not a windy day! But we live in AB!

Agree with all Stephen mentioned!

Jeff
