This question has probably been asked before, however nothing ventured nothing gained.
I'm about to ride in the London - Brighton charity day and was wondering what the advice would be on A) A general training regeme to follow to prepare for 86.4km, and b) A more general training plan aimed at XC riding.
At present I'm putting in 20km/day on an exercise bike and doing two 21.km (Hilly and very muddy) cross country rides a week. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also told that the correct saddle hight should allow my leg to fully extend when the heel is on the peddle. Is this correct?
