Training Guide

The challenge is not easy but the benefits once complete could be many, not only for yourself but for the people you are trying to help.

With any long distance or sporting event, training and fitness are key and we strongly encourage you to seek medical advice to assure yourself of this challenge.

Training not only involves personal fitness and nutrition but also being aware of the Highway Code and being aware of other road users around you. NB Although the event is marshaled, you must ensure that you abide by the rules of the road and the ride.

We’ve found some guides to training and Nutrition for a long distance cycling event.
