Another Training for BWC 2016 London

BWC 2016, the most important annual event for Bromptoneers, is coming very soon. I am quite pleased that I can feel the excitement of that ride in full throttle on the Mall again.

Today I went through another training in both St. Kilda and Mt. Dandenong.

Starting the ride with S2L at Dockland for today's warming up.

Next, I moved onto St. Kilda Beach by Tram 109 then unfolded the bike to start for a 5 km ride to the pier with full throttle. 

Average speed recorded 26.8 km/h for the ride. Not that bad.

After lunch, I grabbed another Brompton, M3L with 44T chain ring, and got on Belgrave Line to Boronia Station. The section from Basin to Sassafras has 6.8 km to go and about 300 meters to ascend. I suppose this 30-minute enduring training is ideal for the race in London.

Reached Sassafras of Mt. Dandenong. The time was 31 minutes and 55 seconds and average speed was 12.75 km/h. Fair.

I will soon get a secret weapon from Cory for the race. When I install it to my S2L, I am ready to go.

Brompton World Championship Final

The 11th Brompton World Championship Final will take place as part of the Prudential RideLondon festival of cycling on Saturday 30th July at 1915. This is the second time the race has been held in the capital, where the Brompton bike was invented and it still made today.

Last year’s event saw participants from over 20 nations taking part with a star-studded field including British cycling stars David Millar and Michael Hutchinson. Sportswear most definitely is not permitted with a strictly no Lycra rule. Competitors start the race with a Le Mans-style mad dash, unfolding their bikes before taking on the 16km circuit. Mark Emsley was last year’s Male winner storming to the finish in 00:26:45 and Isabel Hastie took the Women’s crown in 00:28:49.

We look forward to seeing you on The Mall in July.

Training for BWC 2016 London

BWC 2016, the most important annual event for Bromptoneers, is coming soon. 

I joined BWC 2015 London last year. It was a great fun and I never forget the excitement of that ride in full throttle on the Mall. I decided to participate the race again.

Today I went to Mt. Dandenong for a hill climb training. The race is expected to last about 30 minutes for 16 km. I need to exercise a 30 min non-stop ride with full throttle. I suppose that the hill road toward Sassafras is ideal for the training because the hill gives an appropriate load to my legs for about 30 minutes. Do you know why I need to train? It is of course to win. (Are you serious?)

[ride data]
From a foot of the mountain to Sassafras
Distance 6.95km 
Average % of slope 4.3%
Acquired elevation 299m
Time 32 min. 46 sec.
Average speed 12.6km/h


Approaching Sassafras!

Reached the goal! Average speed for distance 6.95 km and 299 m ascending was 12.6km/hour. Not so bad!

I will bring my light-weight S2L (Raw Lacquer) in the race. Looking forward to seeing you in London!
