Sir Glen,
Couldn’t agree more on #7 been the hardest one, that was for me make or break point. Also I did found that longer high efforts were very hard during last 3-4 workouts, that I would change during my pre-planning now.
Best wishes on your quest! It will be fun! Type 2 fun! Or more realistically, type 2 to the power of type 2 fun!

I feel ready. Now it’s either I storm the castle riding a dragon or I get eaten by the dragon. We’ll know in 6 days.
Sufferlandria is dragon free. Surprising as that might seem. We have laser goats for some strange reason and a T-Rex, affectionately called Fluffy. I have no idea who named her but she makes a brief appearance in Revolver,
Fine, I’ll storm riding a laser goat or be devoured by Fluffy. Sounds even better.
Too funny!! We really need more emojis than the like/heart. ![]()
When I ride in Sufferlandria, I am the dragon.
At least I’m sure that’s why everybody runs away from the vicinity.
Go forth and burn down the gates!
So it turns out I was mistaken @PierrePaff, seems Sufferlandria has a dragon after all. Her name is Dame @Isa and she’s a freakin’ badass!!
Tomorrow, I ride into battle. Only 3 weeks ago I come to realise that my relentless training had a purpose. This Quest.
I’ve got my bike, my food, my cream.
Only the Primers to get through before the big day. Never felt better.
Remember those wise words tomorrow ![]()

Fluffy doesn’t stand a chance of catching you ![]()
Rest up and get ready to smash it. We’ll all be waiting at the castle gates for you

And try to resist this feeling early on:
So keep your levels reasonable!
Sir Glen (@Glen.Coutts) are you in charge of making the popcorn?
Of course, more material for making mattresses! Excellent
A couple of people have mentioned vid 7 and I’m going to repeat it.
Finishing video 7 is “half way”. You’ll feel great after 5, finishing 7 is when you’ll realise what you’re actually doing.
I think I started at 100% because I wanted one video on there at that level.
I dropped a to 90, then slowly to 80 and I think I finished at 70 for the last couple of videos.
Also, someone mentioned to make sure you have videos you enjoy. Absolutely, and stack them near the end so it’s easier to motivate yourself, but I’d also suggest not having too “intervally” a video near the end.
Norway (the ProRide) was valid when I did mine and I love it, so I had it near the end of mine I think and that kind of spiky ride is a horrible idea near the end, I think I had Team Scream late on too.
So, yeah, pick sensibly.
Most importantly, good luck and ride well
Norway you’ll do that again! ![]()
I will see you all tomorrow. I wouldn’t feel so ready without all your tips and support, so thank you.
I’m planning to start around 5 am EST, but it’ll come down to whether I sleep in or not.

#1 - Do as you’re told. Complete.
Just a couple more to go.
