Most races these days take meticulous planning and organisation… they usually involve a few hours drive and having to carry everything you may need just in case so when a race drops onto your doorstep even if it isn’t your prefered distance then it would be foolish to turn down the chance to put a number on and stretch the legs..
The Hit the North race was a 2 hour affair… set on a short 3 mile course at a venue north of manchester just off the M60 motorway… so roughly translating to 20 minutes drive from my house. The event was open to any type of bike with a good split on the day between cross bikes and mountain bikes.

This week has been the first week of base… the hours have gone up and so has the intensity..
Long session on the turbo kicked off the week… followed by heavy weights sessions with low reps… hilly rides… hil reps and long slow ride to finish.
