Thanks for the advice. I really don't want to make an obvious mistake. I won't overload on water. Maybe they will tell us where the feed stations are closer to the time.
Do people wee in a hedge or is that frowned on? If there are loos I'll take a basic bike lock, although will feel a bit silly locking my bike when surrounded by carbon beauties.
Current av speed is about 13mph on when I zip over to Hampton Court' a 20m round trip and fairly flat. I've been doing about 20m a week for a few weeks, often broken up into 10m rides. I didn't think in was that unfit. I'm 42 and 13st @5 11. But clearly I was as I feel much much stronger.
I'm now doing the commute to work a couple of times a week . 11m one way, straight up it feels . But the right kind of thing I'm guessing will build leg strength. The return journey is obviously easier but still a good work out. Last week I did 65m . next week I'll try to do 3 days into work.
My widget tells me we've got 42 days left, and I don't want to train too hard in the last 10 days so it it now I have to work hard.
