2021 Cloudride Prologue 500km
2021 Cloudride Prologue 500km bikepacking event done. Beat my time from last year (difficult to judge though as the route changes every year), hit my daily goals, had no mechanical or tyre problems and didn’t fall off the bike. Great event and am getting better and more knowledgeable every year. Only dropped 5kg of weight over the 3 days which is not too bad seeing as though I was riding all day and couldn’t eat enough calories to replace what I was losing.
Day 1 Canberra to Tralaga, total 210km 3000m elevation gain.
Day 2 Tralaga to Bungonia, total 362km 5000m elevation gain.
Day 3 Bungonia to Canberra, grand total 497km with 6710m elevation gain, according to my Garmin, with average moving speed 15.8kmph, total moving time 34h13min46sec, elapsed total time 58h40min06sec.
Next thing to work on, fatigue management.
