I'm giving it a go. Got 90 miles left over the next few days and I'm feeling it now. A lot easier when you write it on a bit of paper than doing it in real life, especially in the freezing weather!

Anyone else doing it? How's it going?
In reply to Yanis Nayu:

I'm on 410K. A couple of hours tomorrow and a couple on Saturday should do it. Most of my miles have been on main roads to avoid icy little lanes.

Started at midnight on Christmas Eve and did it in one hit to get it out the way. Done 3 rides since but just to pub and back, so short stuff.

My plans were changed this morning by icy lanes, but only after I'd done a couple of miles on a treacherous lane linking two main gritted roads, doing about 8 mph and hardly daring to breathe. I'm doing 50-55 miles tomorrow, which will leave me with about 35-40 on Saturday, but as each ride so far has been at least 50 miles I'm keen to keep that going. I'm hoping it's going to set me right for the NY with a bit of endurance.

Hope you get yours done. Good luck!

Best way mate.

Based on the ice and fog past few days I'd have to agree.

Wanted to do it. Only complete 100 km so far. Should have kicked myself up the arse earlier. i was hoping beyond hope the deadline was 2nd! Is it?

Saturday is the last day. At least I hope it is, or I'm doomed!

Another 51 miles in the bank. It was 2-3 degrees today and it felt like summer! 36 miles tomorrow and the job's done!
In reply to Yanis Nayu:

A minimum of 27km needed tomorrow and I've done it.

Did it! 527km in total. I did 6 rides ranging from 51-59 miles.

Quite pleased with myself.
In reply to Yanis Nayu:

Nice one

48 miles this morning took me to 550km.
