What is everyone doing to Prepare for the OzSTOC IBA1600 ride in October?
as well as getting in some good riding day and night, i have been going to the gym 4 days a week to up my fitness and stamina for longer stints in the saddle.
it has been really good actually into my 3rd week, and i have dropped a shirt size and lost 4kg :thumb

I've just fitted some new PR3s, so the bike is now ready. I plan on doing a couple more 1,000km days, just to test myself, and might get a camelback in case we get some warm weather. Other than that, Bring it On.

Went for a ride yesterday to test out my Fathers Day present, MCL Highway Blades ++
Also, to break in my Russel Day Long seat ++ and test Bike Equip screen ++ and LED Jaycar lights ++.
Traveled:-
Home-Melbourne-Home
1668km - 16h 28m
couple of things to fine tune, but all good and ready for Coffs.
PS. the dog is still on the tucker box (fenced off yessterday) :thumbs

Start and finish was less then 1 kilometre from the motorway.
McCruise made it a lot easier though.

Great run Shiney, 1022km and 84 :hatwave. Glad you had a good day
And great Photo's and write up :thumbsup

Nice one Dave :like
Only we may get someone else to lead the 1600k ride to the final destination.......cause your final pic at your destination at Nambucca Hds......was at Urunga :nahnah :nahnah
Splendid fish'n'chips though here at Anchors wharf :-++ in Urunga
:beer

Awesome work young fella :thumbsup

Good effort Shiney. A good test for how your body can handle the long times in the saddle. :thumb

:fp That's why I get Streak to lead :whistle
I Originally was heading to Macksville NSW for the turn around but when I saw the Cafe I thought of all the recommendations the guys gave it and thought, stuff it I'll make this the turn around and I'll head north a bit to make up some extra distance. (I had thought the cafe was in Nambucca Hds :fp)
Anyhoo the original post has been fixed, good spotting :thumbs
And thanks for the kind words everyone :-++
I have discovered that I can do some fair distance when I really try :blu13 but that last stretch (just shy of 400kms :eek) was a bit much :spank I think it would have been better to take another break in the middle of it :think1 :think1 Oh well that's why I was doing the ride, to see how I can handle the distance/time :thumbsup
Thanks again guys :hatwave

I think I must have done some preparation in the ride back from Queensland. Came back 1150kms in a bit less than 11 hours, doing a few 450km non-stop runs to replicate the 1600 plan. Seemed to work ok, but it does feel good when you stop!
-
Wow 450 km between stops very well done :thumbs
-
This would be a walk in the park for you Saaz :beer
-
Hey Saaz, well done on getting the 450k legs done!!!!! :-++
I'm not interpreting the SS1600k plan as 450ks between stops, that's just the distance between fuel dockets. There's nothing wrong with pulling into a rest area, walking around the bike five times, having a drink and/or a muesli bar or "relieving the pressure" of the ride. It just needs to be efficient. Discomfort adds to fatigue and stress. Sometimes it can't be resolved later in the ride, but if it can it should be. Feel good more often!
Having said that, of you can go a few back to back 450k legs then a 50CC is a snack.
-
Not quite, but you do feel you have done it.
This would be a walk in the park for you Saaz :beer
-
Quite true. If I had been going further some in between stops would have been necessary. In between the fuel stops I just plan on hitting some way points as a mental thing, rather than think about the whole distance or next fuel stop. Makes it just a series of small achievements rather than a hard slog to the end.

My run to Airlie beach was my prep so far. I rode from Rocky to Airlie non-stop (480 km) , and would have done the return trip non-stop except a :cop had other plans.
Coming back from Rocky I attempted to go as far as possible without stopping. I got to just south of Gunalda at Curra (449 km) stopped for wet weather pants and kept going until it ran out at 565 km.
In total 2200 km from 7:30 Friday to 2:30 pm Sunday.
I'm thinking I can do the 1600 in 4 stops. But if necessary on the day, I'll break it up if I have to.
Little milestones helped me. Constantly working out the maths in my head to work out approximate arrivals to the next milestone kept me thinking.
I'm hoping having CB to chat to others along the way doing the same thing will help.
-
A CB is useful when outside Bluetooth range, and for just scanning to see what is going on. But the closer you get to Sydney, the more all the idiots are on wasting airspace - most days it makes the road channel (40 for the Hume, 29 on the pacific Highway seems better) useless for finding out traffic etc etc until you get outside Sydney. Melbourne was no different, but I did not have the CB on around Brisbane to see if it is the same. If we pick a channel for ourselves should be ok. The off button is very useful!
-
It's pretty hopeless around Brisbane on 40. Potty-mouthed van drivers never shut up.
I think we're settled on 13 for starters. Correct me if another channel has been decided. My experience has been 13 is mainly used by riders.
-
good bit of training Shiney, if you kept that average up your ride for the OzSTOC 1600k would be around 19 hours
Saaz if you kept your average up you would do the same ride in about 15 and a half hours ;-*
-
Saaz if you kept your average up you would do the same ride in about 15 and a half hours ;-*
I don't think I will repeat that ride considering we have the time, and leaving at 2am rather than 8am makes a bit of difference o:)

Thanks mate :hatwave
I think I'll take it a bit easier for the 1600 and have more organized breaks.
I'm thinking of aiming for around every 250 kms for a stretch :grin
-
Ah, now you both have the right idea well done guys :thumb
-
I don't try and pre plan too much, as just depends on how you feel at the time and the weather. Planning on more stops rather than less is a sound idea :beer
-
I'd like to be able to ride with a more experienced Endurance Rider, who can push me along a bit. Long hauls early in the ride on the southern leg while fresh, with shorter sections between breaks on the return journey might be a good plan.
-
That's pretty well what I intend. While you feel great just hit the road and knock off some distance. Then take it easier with more stops, or if you feel like it keep going. Depends on the time of day as well, as I like the scenery around sunup and sundown in some sections, or the light at certain times of the day through various parts. Always something of interest to look at, but as a farmboy at heart I look all the time at fences, stock etc etc and make good or bad assessments as I ride along...

why are you're photos so blurry? :cuss
-
I haven't been on a bike for over three months so I thought it high time to get some fitness riding in before the big event.
I rode over to Saaz's place today and back again, approx 50km.
If I keep to this gruelling schedule I should be ready.

How many stops did you need? :crackup

I only had to stop twice on the way there, collect bike parts in Fyshwick and fuel just before his place. It was good to take a break.
Stick with me StinkyPete, I'll be your "experienced Endurance Rider"

Well done Abe - made that sound real easy mate. ++ :wht13
Well done Shiney - another good read with pics ++ :blu13
Make sure you all do the walk around your bike before setting off on this one. Nothing worse than OWNING the ride, only to lose it all for a $2 part or loose screw etc. :||||
Good luck and safe riding to everyone involved.

I haven't been on a bike for over three months so I thought it high time to get some fitness riding in before the big event.
I rode over to Saaz's place today and back again, approx 50km.
If I keep to this gruelling schedule I should be ready.
Should have joined you Lionel, but I went on a prep ride (IBA SS3000) of sorts.
After some info from TJ and Wombattle (thanks men) I left at 4am and pulled into Port Augusta 7.30pm AEST, being 1545km.
No problems during the ride except 2 bird strikes, one small bird to the headlight area and a Cockatoo to the driving light.
Nice sleep, (too much sleep for any serious IBA attempts) walked next door to Shell for chocolate milk and starting docket.
Fully awake and ready for the day, off I went, till about 2kms out of Port Augusta, bird strike to the helmet, then just down the road a fox came out from the side to say "good bye" and just clipped his/her tail.
Anyway, if you haven't been through the Burra, Spalding area, then do it, it's beautiful this time of year.
Sunrise just out of town, note all the wind turbines on the hill.

I got a little cold and stayed that way for a little while. Love heated grips.

Used the stops at roadworks and truck fire to eat and drink.
Finish docket 8.59pm, 3099kms done, then home for a hot shower and a beer :grin
Next time I hopefully wont forget my heated vest :||||
