Thanks Craig and Bodin.
Nope, no road bike so it's all on a MTB for me! What I've been doing is using the 2 hour session (only one mid week ride at this point) to go around Yarra Bend and basically find all the MTB hills I can find and ride up them. To be honest I'm not making it through the entire 2 hours without cutting across to road hills (because I'm buggered!) but it's a start.
I'll take up what you've suggested. Another note is that I always seem to "forget" to take the gels I've packed. For some strange reason I'l just ride and ride and then all of a sudden hit the wall and then crack it at myself for not paying attention. Training should help this.
Thanks again and I hope I have the chance to catch up with some of the almighty farkers like yourself for a chat and a well earnt beer.
Cheers,
Coaster
