Should we set a target average speed so we know how likely we are to finish it on the day?
The more I look at this the longer it seems it will take, the designated stops will probably take up about 2 hours of time on their own if we take between 15 mins and 1/2 hour at each, then if we're doing an 11 or so mph speed while on the bikes that's already 12 hours, and that would be on the assumption we have no mechanicals when in actual fact with 30+ riders doing 180km we'd can probably assume at least 5 punctures, at least 10 mins each, it's looking like 15+ hours!
