BLOG

Welcome to Idai Makaya’s new long-distance cycling blog. Here Idai will cover his training build-up towards the long-distance cycling challenges he’ll be doing on the ElliptiGO in 2014, including the Mille Cymru Audax at the end of June 2014.

The Mille Cymru Audax is a grand tour of Wales that’s over 1,000km long (600-miles) with 16,000m of climbing (over 50,000 feet) and a time-limit of 75 hours. It will be the toughest physical challenge Idai has ever taken on. You can see all the detail on the official Mille Cymru event website. Idai’s full fixture list can be viewed on this link.

In this blog we’ll keep you up to date with Idai’s progress and with his training schedule, to give an insight into how long-distance cycling events can be tackled on an ElliptiGO bike. We start in his 6th training week, where Idai outlines his training programme at the moment.
