Cycle 40k

Add to My List Check Off

A 40 kilometer bike ride is the distance of the cycling component of an Olympic length (or International distance) triathlon and also a common target for cycling road races. Working up to a continuous ride of 40 kilometers is no small undertaking but achievable by those with basic physical fitness. Professional cyclists can cover 40 kilometers in less than 40 minutes with most amateurs hoping to someday break 1.5 hour mark; novice riders can expect to cover the distance in 2 hours, more or less. Those dreaming of working toward completing a 40K ride should get their hands on a good quality road bike and begin training with incremental increases in distance. Riders should allow at least 5 weeks of training to build to the 40 kilometer level. Events are staged all over the world that include a 40K Bike component that can be entered individually or as part of a multi-staged competition such as a Triathlon or multi-event cycling program. Include the Dream to Bike 40K on your list as part of your quest to complete an Olympic Distance Triathlon or to reach your goal of better physical fitness. Find a competition that will be held in a place that is also on your list of dream locations and you will certainly have memories that will last a lifetime when you cross this off your list.
