You'll find extra motivation when you start the real thing.
If you can get the JustGiving app on your phone. I had it on mine when I was training for my first marathon and the notifications were relayed onto my Garmin watch (Forerunner 920xt but it might be the same with a more modern Edge cycling GPS).
One day I was about 5km from the end of a 28km training run and wishing that the world would swallow me up. I was just thinking about the alternative options for getting home (walking/short-cut/bus) when I got a notification through to my watch that someone else had made a donation. It was just want I needed to remind me why I was doing it and it got me through.
With that in mind I'll make my donation Friday afternoon sometime.
Good luck with it. I've done London to Cambridge and back a lot (it was my fallback DIY 200km Audax ride and sometimes I used to use it to go watch Cambridge United play), never really get tired of that route.
