not sure what to expect

Pace yourself, fuel yourself regularly, (food & drink), rest accordingly.

or how much its gonna hurt

Depends how much training time you've done relative to the ride terrain I'd guess, but saddle time is very important. If you've not spent more then a couple of hours on the bike then yup, it's gonna hurt.

Good luck

I hope you make it Its supposed to be a really good outing I did think of doing it. But I am not sure I'd be up to the Bristol- kempton park though I might be able to do the Bath to London If I train up for it will try next year perhaps? Oh and there is a sweeper truck that you can pick up if you find you just can't manage it, but I'm sure you will do it comfortably. all the very best

The hills outside bath on the A4 are hard and the keep coming one after the other. It flattens out before Newbury. Rest well, load up on carbs today and drink regularly whilst riding.
I did 107 (Bristol to Uxbridge) and it was brilliant
