TRAINING TIPS
Back in 2008 Liz, Mal and Nixter cycled (successfully) across France. We were all novice cyclists at the time and compiled a record of our training. The same useful tips would apply to this ride across the UK. For the friends and family who are taking on this sweaty challenge your cycle diaries will expand this record of experience and I'm sure what you share will be useful to your comrades. Take the cyling easy to start off with, especially if you're starting from absolute zero. Steadily increase your distance over the weeks, slip in a ride to the shops wherever possible, listen to your body and you'll begin to notice a difference in your bicycle fitness within a couple of months. If you can break through the magical 30 mile barrier you'll be able to cycle any distance you want. Here's the link to the training we did for France, as well as other information about bikes, gear etc.
