This year I've been trying a few different races that are new to me. I've had excellent advice on track racing and time trialling from everyone at TCC. My next new adventure is an Enduro.
I know these events are quite popular around the Tokyo area. I've never done one before, so I'm looking for advice. Any advice much appreciated.
The race is this Tuesday (14th). 4 hours on a 2km car circuit. Each lap is half uphill, half downhill.
We'll ride individually and then pass the baton (a time chip) in the pits. Up to 3 riders are allowed but we'll have 2.
I've been told 2 or 3 laps each is best. Time is lost in the pits but if we do too long each turn, we'll burn out!
I expect it's going to be hot so I was thinking of taking a cool box with lots of bottles. We can fuel up while waiting in the pits. I think a tent would be a good idea too.
I'm a bit sronger than my partner as he has been focussing on the Fuji hill climb running event this year. Although I have a bit of jet lag and put on a few kilos back in the UK these last two weeks. Real Ale = Real Danger!
Anyway, any advice is good advice!
Thanks,
Andy
