Hi. I just going through a mid life crisis and have decided to cycle round all the premiership football clubs next feb totaling around 550 miles in 9 days. Nothing spectacular about that i know, however, given that at the moment i don't have a bike and have a very limited budget and i need to start training asap as i'm 40 over weight and very unfit!
I'm doing this with my sons and need to know whether their bog standard mountain bike would be up to the journey and if i bought one which type of bike should i go for
I'm looking to do my training around rutland water which is 18 mile as this would give me realistic conditions but is not all roads.
Can you give me any advice - apart from your mad and don't do it. (as I can't back out know as were already taking sponsors for the charity chosen)
How many miles can an average unfit person do per hour / day without killing themselves?
thanks in advance
Deano
