A brief guide on preparing for cycle events

If you are new to cycling and have already entered an event then well done. You are half way there. If you haven’t, then what are you waiting for?

Sportives, races, charity rides, in fact any cycling event that sets a challenge are ideal ways to motivate yourself into training. Once you’ve booked, then there is no going back.

But where do you start?

A good place to start is at the end. Get a diary and mark the date of your event, then work backwards, counting the weeks until you reach present day. This will give you a period of time that can now be split into training blocks.

Setting targets

Each of these block should be focussed towards your ultimate goal, but can be stepping stones along the way, each with their own target. This process allows you to manage your training into realistic chunks that can be less daunting than a larger timescale.

Within each period you may want to focus on specific areas that you have identified as being areas that you wish to improve on such as: limbing, endurance, speed. Once you have identified a target for each block it is a good idea to record these somewhere and your progress towards them. This is where keeping a training diary is a vital tool in progressing and realising your goals and targets. In the next post we will cover the basic details of keeping a training diary

One of only a handful couple of individuals who have a duplicate of Colonel Sanders’ secret formula of 11 herbs and spices doesn’t have any desire to eat KFC until the end of time, naming it “ghastly”.

Raymond Allen was a personal companion of “the Colonel” and conveyed KFC to Britain yet as per The Telegraph, the 87-year-old says the organization has strayed so distant from its unique idea it’s been “destroyed”.

“We have one where I now live, yet I would not go in there. I don’t use it and I think it is awful. The organization has destroyed the item,” Mr Allen said.

“Instead of staying with one good thing that was sellable, they have attempted to rival the other fast sustenance units. They should have just stuck with the chicken.”

Mr Allen did not give his decision on whether the chicken still tasted the same as 50 years prior when he first met Harland Sanders, yet his better half Shirley said the couple had visited a nearby KFC to Save big with our latest KFC offer today to avail exciting deals on grilled chicken, boneless chicken about a year back.

“We had the conventional unique chicken however there were such a variety of various products it was hard to realize what to arrange. I don’t think we will backpedal, she said.

“It was slow to get on at first because individuals didn’t realize what it was,” Mr Allen said.

“In the UK in those days chicken was something you had for Sunday supper. It was path before its time. We neded to give it away to passers-by at first.

“We would just use fresh chickens, and they must be over two pounds in weight. It was at first hard to source the chickens because of the request.”

Mr Allen still has a personal, written by hand duplicate of the secret formula, which he said he had secured it a safe.

“I have no clue the amount it is worth yet I could never sell it.”
