Thinking of signing up for this for the first time.
A major goal of mine is to complete 100 miles in one day (most so far is 75) so I thought that this would be a good way to achieve this.
There are however a few potential stumbling blocks...
1. I'm OK fitness wise, but not on the 'lighter' side so hills tend to be more testing for me.
2. There are only around 2 months left to train for it, which I think may not be enough.
3. I've read various ride reports from past years, all with a common theme...terrible road surface conditions in places.
I know a few of the CC Ecosse people have done the event and would appreciate any tips, comments and general musings on the subject.
If it comes around too soon...I'll look to complete the 100 miles in a day sometime later in the year...because I WILL do it!
Cheers
