Before the onset of coronavirus I booked all of my travel and accommodation for a 3 day trip to France and Belgium. This is due to happen in about 6 weeks so there is still an outside possibility of it going ahead, although no more than that.
If it does go ahead, I will need to be cycling about 50 miles on each of the three days. Prior to lockdown, I had planned to increase my weekly mileage to a point where this would be easily manageable. However, I only got in one 50+ mile training run before the lockdown started.
I've been doing 15 miles every day for the last two weeks, and want to keep this up during the lockdown (it takes just over an hour). I'm absolutely confident I could do a single 50 mile trip today if I had to, but don't know about a second or third day.
My question for the more experienced is, will that be enough training if the lockdown is lifted just before I am due to go, or should I write-off the idea now? For a variety of reasons I can't defer until later in the year.
Thanks
