OK, You've been roped into riding the MS Gong or Spring Cycle, now what? We get asked this a lot so here's our "busy person's get-fit guide to ride 100km*". This is intended to work around the 9-5 and family commitments so that you can have the endurance to enjoy a 100km day as much as possible.
You've signed up to spend 60+ hours on the bike. Make sure you start with a serviced and well fitted bike.
Drag some mates along, they'll help keep you motivated. You can also take advantage of our group servicing discounts.
Turn your daily commute into a training session to sneak in those mid-week kms. Join Strava to track your progress and stay on target.
Like bike endurance, the earlier you start the better the results.

If you got this far you've now spent 60 hours in the saddle. If you keep it up you'll be on track to do ~7000kms per year. To put that in perspective, thats enough saddle time to burn off 425 Bacon & Egg rolls for the year!
