I'm thinking of doing the Deloitte one with a friend this year, for charity, but may also be going on a week long cycling holiday to Nice or Mallorca not long after.
What sort of toll does this kind of ride take In your body and how long should I leave afterwards before another big week?
I know it's a very general question, but it would be good to know how people felt after doing this kind of thing for the first time.
Previous trips have been 7 days of 100km+ hilly rides in Mallorca etc and have never felt like I needed time off after. In fact I smashed my 10mile pb after a week in Nice.
