June Stats

Time on bike: 25hrs 40mins (20hrs 31mins on the road)
Distance cycled: 691km (516km on the road)
Total climbing: 6,330m
Units of alcohol: 0

I might give the legs a spin on the turbo this week, but the above signals the end of my training for the Marmotte. My stats since I started training in earnest in November are therefore as follows:

Time on bike: 188hrs 13mins (just over a week!)
Distance cycled: 4,846km (just over 3,000 miles - enough to get me from London to Astana, Kazakhstan)
Total climbing: 50,533m (5.7 times up Mt Everest from sea level)
Hours on the turbo trainer: 81.5 hours - mind-numbing
Ascents of Box Hill: 70

And how does that stack up against my preparation for the 2013 Etape? It's a 36% increase on the distance cycled, and 39% more climbing.

And the Marmotte is 36% longer than the Etape 2013, with 40% more climbing.
