I got my mate to do the dynamo last year. In a month he went from being tired on a 5 miler around town to riding out the whole night, 120 miles.
The main problem he suffered from was knee pain. Expect to eat and drink a lot, bring plenty of carbs and salt if you're nervous.
That route is pretty flat, which can be a problem if you hit a too high pace on the flat.
Gears, Flat terrain, first long distance I would hope for 6 to 7 hours.
