Wow..what a cool thing to do...think you brave though..you need to do a lot of long distance riding just to get used to it.
I cycled from Hemel to Milton Keynes once and It was bloody knackering...even slight
hills knacker you right out.
Good luck Smile

Good for you K, that is about 54 miles so two marathons lengths, it is a challenge but for a very good cause.
How are you going to get the bike and you home?
Have you a special bike prepared? We could rig up a small motor hidden in a rear saddle bag if you fancy? Surprised

now that is an idea!!!

there is four of us doing it an we figure, if we start to struggle, turn it into a pub crawl, let the alcohol numb the pain!!

it works out at 54 miles.... hmmm, more scary when you describe it as twice a marathon!!

K have a good look at your seat and say to yourself, "do I want to be sat on that for 54 miles?" then go buy a softer one! Laughing

I take it Matt's playing a support function, lots of drinks/chocolate and a good "sports massage" at the end!
