Greetings folks,
Plus 1 etc to all that has been said on whether you can be unfit and complete the ride....
All you need to do is get some miles in, start looking at the route, make sure your bike is fine and you have everything you need, don't set off too quick and then just keep on going until you can see the sea.
'The race is not for the swift, but for who can endure...' as it says in Ecclesiastes.
9:11. I kept telling myself this as I rode it last year with lots of Dulwich ' i'm on a sportive tip' Paragon type riders whizzing past me.
The other Biblical quote I kept on thinking of is 'For by Thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall' Psalm 18:29.
It is such a beautiful part of the world, so just keep on peddling and enjoy the ride.
Here endeth the lesson.
Peace and Love to one and all,
Tim
