How long are you going to set aside for the journey? 7 days doing 50-60 miles is going to be easier than 4 x 80-100.
If your mountain bike doesn't have lockable forks and/or a rear suspension, it'll be hard work. If it does, lock the front fork and stick some slick tyres on.
The rest is down to comfort and fitness. Eat, drink and enjoy it.

You have several months to train for it so as you are allready fit I think its doable but not much fun.
Even experienced long distance cyclists would find that hard work ,if you spread it over 5 days or 4 riding days with a rest day in the middle then it could be fun instead of just a gruelling ordeal.
