Prep#3 - Riding Towards the Unknown: Sam and Andy’s Adventure

It's hard to believe, but in just one month, the wheels will be rolling down Rundle Street Mall as the Adelaide to Brisbane begins. Andy, who suffered a minor concussion just a few weeks ago, is back on the bike and training hard. Sam, his riding partner from Brisbane, has been putting in the miles and fine-tuning his nutrition plan. With the ride just around the corner, they're both feeling excited and a little nervous.

But it's not just the training that's taking up their time. There are logistics to consider, such as travel to Adelaide, support vehicle hire, and accommodation along the route. It's a big undertaking, but they're both up for the challenge.

Sam and Andy have been working hard to finalise their plans for the trip. They've secured a support vehicle to carry their gear and supplies, and they've booked accommodation along the route. They've also been mapping out the route and adding the navigation GPX files to their Elemnt Bolts, identifying any potential challenges, such as hills or tricky road conditions.

Training is still a top priority, and both riders are putting in the hours on the bike. Andy is gradually increasing the volume and intensity of his training to build up his endurance, while Sam is focusing on maintaining his fitness. They know that the key to success on this ride is preparation, and they're leaving nothing to chance.

As the countdown to the tour continues, both Sam and Andy are feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. They know that there will be challenges along the way, but they're confident that their preparation and hard work will pay off. Stay tuned for more updates as they prepare for this epic adventure.
