Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the phrase "without training" that I wasn't previously aware of.

You'll be fine with that, I've hardly done any riding this year, a lot of running but no riding. I you or me end up walking Leith Hill, we wont be the only ones rest assured.

My brother is also taking part and he's been doing 30 mile rides every other day and 80 miles on the weekends. It's making me nervous! But he is starting at 6 something and I'm after 8 so hopefully I'll be with my kind and he will be with his! He's aiming for under 5 hours. Thank-you slightly less panicked now!

+1 to this. Sounds like you are putting plenty of miles in. You will be swept along by the riders around you and as has been said, if you end up walking the hills you won't be alone. Last year people were walking up the hill in Richmond Park ...I'm sure you'll be fine

Yeah I know, it means a wake up time of probably just before 2! My start is 7.38 so could have some time to kill.....

I think it's good that the organisers have set up a 46 mile route but i think maybe they could have put the start time back an hour after the last start time of the 100 mile riders.
Although the majority of the shorter route will be sensible riders i fear you are going to have a few who will be going gung ho because the distance is short,terrain flat and they will be after a fast time
