Ten weeks now to go so the training has now got to step up a gear (just managed to hold on long enough with this pose to get photo took!).
I have given myself an eight week training schedule which I hope will get me fit enough for the event. Week one gave me a target of 100 miles but i actually covered 106. This figure rises and peaks at a max distance of 210 miles. More importantly I think, is doing long distances back to back, so as the weeks progress I will be trying to pull in consecutive days of at least 40 miles plus per day.
With not cycling for six weeks my fitness has really fell off. I covered 33 miles on Friday but from 24 miles my legs felt empty. Went out on Saturday just to get rid of the stiffness, covered 10 miles and it was hard. I am sure this is to be expected with having such a lay off but it is a bit dis-heartening!

Hi Marc
Best I can suggest is to get out on your bikes as much as possible. More you get used to the saddle the better! Try and bike on a regular basis (hard I know with work and family commitments)even if it is only short journeys.
Build your mileage up week by week by making your yourself a goal, something that is achievable. Perhaps first try and get 50 miles in over the week and then 75 following week etc. By the end, try and aim for a target of doing two consecutive days of at least 50 miles plus a day.
I also tried to train where it was quite hilly, this definately benefitted me when we were around the Kent area (some good hills there!)
Diets are very important. I did not really know what I should have been eating but I was advised that plenty of carbohydrates were very important. My diet when training was mainly pasta, rice, potatoes, chicken etc. When out riding I often took soreen and jelly babies with me. Don't forget lots and lots of fluids. Energy drinks are good.
Not sure how much this helps but all the best and i am sure you will succeed. Please let me know how you get on.
