Get a few long day rideouts under your belt and then go for it.

thanks for the advice! I'll go and get more long trips + group rides mileage and see how I feel by early May. ( and if there are still tickets )

Cheers

I might well be up for this! Lovely. Long old day. How many miles is the ride?

Lucas, if you can try coming on the Southend shakedown. That might help you get used to group riding. I've only done one apart from M-ways.
