    you're talking about riding 200 miles in two days and you're not in shape?
    How old are you?
    how far is the farthest you have ever ridden in one day?
    i just re read your post. You did it 2 months ago. How was it? You might just take it slower, and have fun.

    Personally I would not do it.

    Can you draft behind the guys that are going? If you're good at drafting, you could possibly have one of them pull you when you are getting tired.

    It's an out and back, so would you feel comfortable stopping somewhere halfway (if such a place has lodging and food) and letting them continue on, then you rest and meet again the next day for the ride back?

    I'll be 25 next month. Farthest was 196miles in 24hrs (including a 6 hr nap) it was a charity ride.

    2 months ago, it was just 2 of us, it was very hot and some stretches were tough. lots of hills and such (small hills, but we're not used to those) It's mostly the heat that was tough to deal with. this time round its... 14 other guys.

    I can draft on flats, but I'm not sure how to draft up a slope...
