How many hours per week did you train in average and for how long?
@veloburger5 ай бұрын
Hi JulAlxAU - For Peak I probably averaged around 12-15hrs per week then up to 15-20hrs in January & early February. This included turning mid week commutes into 90 min training sessions. I don't have a rigid methodology, but I do like to do one 6hr+ ride per week at a minimum of 2000m for around 3-4 months before the big day 👍

I have been on Pirelli Cinturato Velo the last 3 years on 3 bikes. 2 racers and my commuter. Not one puncture in three years. I ´m commuting all year around. In Scandinavia they put gravel on the bike lanes during winter. Not one puncture on the 35mm commuter tire.

Just found your video. Glad you’re having a good experience with the Vittoria’s. What width are you running and how comfortable do you find them? I’ve run GP5000 28mm they were nice. About to change to tubeless and have bought these in 30mm but not fitted them yet. Wondering if I should have gone wider as I’m not a feather weight rider
@veloburger9 ай бұрын
G'day Chris!! I am running 28mm and the wife is on 30mm. However I am about to make the change to 30mm after seeing some evidence that the extra width does not cost in speed. Will also make managing our spares a little easier 😉 I run GP5000's on the spare bike (not tubeless), and the main difference I have noticed is they can have a tendency to skid with heavy rear brake application compared to the Conti's. Enjoy the change to tubeless!

Stoked to hear you have signed up - good luck with the next 12 months, it does take commitment :-) Training videos, I toyed with the idea for this years event but just found myself to busy - I may do some monthly summaries toward the end of the year - something like that. If there is any in particular you would like to see, please let me know.
