Nah you will be fine, just make sure you have food and water and sleep well tonight. Also eat a good breakfast, take on enough water thats it. Try to get on the back of another riders wheel. Have fun, lets us know how it goes. Belive in yourself

Take it easy and you'll be fine, don't push tall gears just keep your legs spinning, good luck!

Thought the 52 miles is for club cyclists.
You only get 3hrs 25mins. so your going to have to average 15mph!

joshwalker094 · 03-06-12, 06:26 PM

we have to be on our last lap by the 3 hours 25 minutes, at the moment i average 16.8 mph
