Race prep
      #34366 - 20/06/2009 14:29

Hi Guys
I'm off to do the 10 at Kirroughtree next month as a solo.
What would be recommended for the week prior in terms of food and fluid intake?
I have got a 3 hr enduro tomorrow that if I get out of my pit early enough! I'll ride out to for an extra bit of riding and then a 5 hr trailquest the following week that should take me nicely up to the event I'll also do some riding in the week as well.
How much riding should I do the week before?
Any advice would be great.
Regards Steve

They don't call me Windy Steve for nothing looks like prematch meal of curry it is then. Oh and you better watch out behind at Kirroughtree especially if you trundle up behind someone chuckling away to himself
