Who are you doing it with Amy?

I did it august 2013.
Main things I would suggest are proper bike fit -especially arm extension to avoid numbness in wrists / hands
fitness - get the miles in - I found day 1 hard.
Enjoy

Is it over 3 days? what mileage did you do each day?

over 90 on day 1 = London to Calais. Hilly 75 miles day two south out of calais
