Ep 23: Unreasonable Expectations - What You Really Should Expect On Long Distance Challenges

Ev is away, so there are only bike fitters in the room... what could go wrong?!? This week, we take the opportunity to discuss Lee's lingering numbness in his hands as the result of a multiday race. Was this expected? Is it reasonable to expect this kind of outcome? And was it worth it? If you're taking on a long distance / multiday cycling challenge this year, such as Land's End to John o'Groats, RAB, The Transcontinental, Pan Celtic or even an Ironman, this episode is for you. Find out how to figure out what a reasonable level of discomfort to experience is whilst taking on such a challenge, as well as tips and trick for the journey ahead and what Lee's pre-marriage strategy has been so far...
