Possibly all talk, but it's definitely viable. Sasmon's thinking the same so we might have a nippy train thing going on. I'd rather give it a go and burn out 40 miles from the end than not try it at all.
And it definitely makes sense to give the bike a go before you attempt anything epic. Even with a ride under your belt, some niggles (or not!) will inevitably surprise you after the first 40–60mile proper outing.
