I was entered into that. But life got a bit busier and haven't had the time to train long hours. So I'm out. Splitting it down into a series of 1 dayers instead

At 330km in 10 hours pace, @iggibizzle , you'd get to the Mille Pennines audax controls way before they 'open'

Not sure I'd be able do that pace over the climbing it has!

That puts into perspective how small my ride is

Any reason for the 10hour target? Is that because you want a 20mph avg?

Ive just had to go and have a lie down, merely reading about such a target

Good luck Mick. Seeing your Strava numbers my money's on you doing this

No particular reason, I think it will push me but could be done. I didn't want to set a target that would be too easy or one that would not be achievable.

Cheers fella.
If his luck is any like mine, he will do it in about 10 hours and 6 minutes. His rolling average should still be well over 20mph.

So this pathetic excuse for summer is keeping my prep miles pretty low this week. Got a race tomorrow which will drain them but then through next week nice and steady ready for the big day. Fingers crossed, the forecast is showing a change in the weather! Here's hoping!
How did it go @MickeyBlueEyes ?
