jazzythumper - sorry to about your dad.
I'm similarly untrained having just emerged from a months worth of heavy workload during which time bike was out of action and I didn't have time to fix it. finally got round to it last night so tomorrow plan to get on the bike for the first time in weeks! argh.
argh but at the same time, don't worry about it. I'm trying not to, at least.
did you ever get out to reccy the hills? I haven't yet but still want to, despite busy weekends (seem to have a wedding to go to every weekend in july...).
Leith Hill is my only worry from having cycled the Olympic Road Race route last year, took us about 9-10 hours including a pub lunch and only one lap of Box Hill!
