Hey there everyone, just said I'd update this, did the cycle on Sunday, trained pretty hard in the two weeks I had kept the advice I got on here in mind. Found the first few miles tough as it took ages for my muscles to warm and the surface we were on was very rutted and broken up, but once we got onto smoother roads I really started to enjoy it. No real aches and pains to speak of since, just the odd little twinge.

Anyway thanks all for the advice it really did help and I raised a few quid for charidee

well done.

Wow fair play sounds very tough, kind of puts my 50k into perspective, still I'm happy with my training, going from not cycling in years to doing 50k in two weeks isn't bad, might give it a couple more weeks before I try a 2000k though

a few of them went from not having cycled for about 5 years and never that kind of mileage to completing that in 16 weeks. There are a few sore arses and other injuries, though.
