Thanks again. It's great to hear

Update: I've decided not to do the 50 mile ride... But to do the 80 mile option instead! This will be over 2 days 50 on the first and 30 on the second.

I'll be riding with my boyfriend who was keen to turn it into a 2 day event and bump up the mileage. I'm somewhat worried that I won't be up to this but I'm riding almost every day and doing a long ride on the weekends in preparation (I've halfed the century training schedule that PsCyclePath suggested).

I'm sending out my sponsorship email to my friends and family later today. They don't know that I'm doing this and it's not a "very me" thing to do so I'm looking forward to their reactions! I'm hoping that the extra mileage will inspire them to sponsor me more.

Any tips I might need for doing a this sort of 2 day rather than a 1 day ride are very welcome! Or in fact any further tips or shared experiences at all are welcome!

Thanks everyone - this forum is brilliant. You've really given me the confidence, that I wouldn't have had otherwise, to attempt this!
