If you google something like 'century cycle training plan' there are a few decent training schedules to get you up there in 12-16 weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-37349736263329747142009-03-05T15:24:00.000+00:002009-03-05T15:24:00.000+00:00Loving your work Dave.

Good luck with it all. <BR/><BR/>I'm keen on stats and in an attempt to take your mind off of the trip, I've crunched a few numbers <BR/><BR/>I've noticed that since peaking in 2006, your Average Blog Count (ABC, for ease) was around the one every 3.9 days mark. <BR/><BR/>Since then we have seen a rapid decline, with one every 4.4 days in 2007 and finishing with one every 5.5 days in 2008. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you have your reasons, internet access and work commitments to name but two, but it's fantastic to see that you are averaging a record one every 3.5 days so far in 2009, even though you seem busier than ever! <BR/><BR/>Nice workCedrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062474245941231775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-27606814589675897052009-03-03T21:20:00.000+00:002009-03-03T21:20:00.000+00:00You could just consider a residency at the King's ...You could just consider a residency at the King's Lynn show and cycle the local flatlands.<BR/><BR/>DW xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-14802766697081442302009-03-03T16:29:00.000+00:002009-03-03T16:29:00.000+00:00I loved the London to Brighton Bike Ride last year...I loved the London to Brighton Bike Ride last year, and I had no hesitation in signing up to do it again this time round.<BR/><BR/>As Dave said, there's a certain friendliness to it - you can have a quick friendly word or a lengthy chat with any the thousands of bikers and there's a wonderful sense of achievement lining the route. <BR/><BR/>The finish line felt like completing Tour de France after freewheeling all the way down from the top of Ditchling Beacon (the toughest part of the course, an assault on the South Downs). It's quite a moment with hundreds of onlookers applauding your finish. <BR/><BR/>Would recommend it to anyone, as it's one of the most enjoyable and laid-back charity events you can do. It's both a challenge in having to cycle 54 miles, but perfectly 'doable' with a bit of training. <BR/><BR/>Good luck Dave, hope to bump in to you along the way (not literally).James Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282542362120126318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-43698891116384935902009-03-03T15:13:00.000+00:002009-03-03T15:13:00.000+00:00Have you thought of asking one of the mobile broad...Have you thought of asking one of the mobile broadband providers if they would sponsor you?
