What the course asks of you
The Lake District is flat to gently rolling, through forests, fields and villages between hundreds of lakes. The difficulty is the distance, the night and the wind.
Train long rides at a steady endurance pace, practise riding at night with good lights, and plan your food for twelve hours or more.
How to prepare
The general shape of a good preparation, which Event Coach turns into a plan for your fitness, time and date:
- Train sustained endurance and tempo: long efforts at a steady, comfortably hard pace are what a flat day like the Mecklenburger Seen Runde asks.
- Build the long ride towards 300 km: on the flat there is no climb to rest on the way down, you pedal all the time.
- Ride in a group in training and learn to share the work: on flat roads, the wind and the wheel in front decide the day.
Pacing mistakes to avoid
The mistakes that cost riders the most on a day like this:
- Riding the first hour of the Mecklenburger Seen Runde too hard because the speed feels free in a big group.
- Spending time on the front alone into the wind, when a wheel would carry you for a fraction of the effort.
- Eating too little: on a flat day you never stop pedalling, and the energy runs out without warning.
