Details can be found here www.premiership-cycle-ride-2009.co.uk raising money for wishes4kids. Looking at all other threads on here there seems to be alot of people with experience of long cycle rides which I'm lacking As a newbie to cycling is there any tips that are obvious that I should be doing and also ones that cropped up during your ride that would help me and others? Also I need to workout roughly where we will be at the end of each day, what distance and times are achievably in a day without killing our selves as we have to do this for a number of days any comments would be most welcome and appreciated Dean  www.premiership-cycle-ride-2009.co.uk http://premiership-cycle-ride-2009.blogspot.com/    Report

Drink before you are thirsty - once  you get thirsty you are already dehyrated. Take snacks like bananas, nuts and dried fruit which are long lasting sources of energy which you can nibble while you go along. Hope this helps.
