I complain a lot about my legs hurting and I don’t really know if anyone else complains!! Martin works very hard on the group rides. Trigg doesn’t like to get “chicked”

My favourite is running and my least favourite is probably riding but I’m starting to enjoy riding a lot more.

Weetbix for breakfast, banana & weetbix drink 1 hr prior to race
What’s your usual pre-race routine?
The night before my race I pack my bag and put my bike on the back of the car and get out a bowl and breakfast for breakfast and get out all my gear I need to wear so that I don’t have to do much when I wake up.
