An hour and a half to do 40 miles? No, I'll be looking at more like 2.5 hours. We have to get over some Chilterns, navigate, and factor in a little time for mechanicals (just in case). This seems to be the simplest route, and will avoid some of the steeper climbs around Watlington.
Yes, it'll be an early start, and yes I'll be on gears. The fixed gear needs some work so I don't trust it over this sort of distance.
