It was great to get out eventually and try the whole rig out. Also it was good to see what it felt like pulling weight up hill Puff Puff Puff!!!!
I utilised a couple of bags of spuds and old clothes to bring the weight up to around 10 kilos, I recon on around 20 for the trip so I will bring the weight up as I continue training.
I have found it use full that the surface of most of the fire tracks around my area resembles Strong Velcro...very good resistance training.
It was a good 15 mile over a mixture of fire road and tarmac with a couple of good stiff climbs. felt so much better than sweating it out in the gym.
The bike was fine and the trailer was fine but I am not convinced about the strength of the hook up to the bike yet but as i get more miles in we will see how it survives.
