25 miles a day commuting is a fantastic amount and will set you up magnificently. It helps harden up the arse and contact points. You will be fine.
Spot on, in my experience.In a nutshell, you'll quite quickly ride yourself into fitness!
I do, though unfortunately not very active at present - I've been doing more travelling than usual, so very few free weekends.Ben do you run a cycle group on meetup ?
April '97when did you do it ?
That's great advice from both of you. Would love to know your routes, the B&Bs used or any that you can recommend and what bikes you rode on.
Thanks for your time in posting all that and well done to both of you.
I did it last year with two guys who weren't very fit.
I'm not so sure that you'll 'ride yourself fit'. These two guys got progressively worse as the ride went on because there was no opportunity to recover (no rest days), and by the end they were in a right state.
I however, having a better base level of fitness did 'ride myself fit' and got stronger everyday.
So I'd say that depending on your fitness at the start you can go one of two ways. Fit people get fitter; unfit people get into serious trouble!
(we did between 80-110 miles per day with panniers)
Sorry Robbie, can't see it, I'm being dumb I suspect
Go to '9 day LEJOG completed' thread in LEJOG section - all B & B's there fella. Most really nice and the punters were top draw, happy with choices overall.
