I've not ridden enough over the last couple of months, so I did the Hell Of The Ashdown route yesterday to try to get some miles in the legs in perpetration for this. Surprisingly it didn't feel too bad, but at 80 miles and 7500 feet it's made me realise how hard I'm going to find this ride. I think the suggestion of another 30 odd miles and 2000 feet would have met with a whimper.
I am considering a recce ride on Sunday. At least then I will know what to expect on the day and will have more of an idea of how to pace it. At the very least it'll give me a good few days to get my excuses ready.
