Getting worried about lack of preperation for a forthcoming tour around Scotland. Biggest cycle I have done in past 3 months is 20 miles although in in spring did three 100milers with adequate mileage in between.

Meant to get out on bike last week but had a bad cold so didn't manage.

How can I make best use of the next 3 weeks to prepare???

    ride your bike


    ...alot



    80miles a day - 6-8hrs riding per day, day 1 should be fine, day 2 will be tough, day 3 will hurt

    Dont worry about it. Seriously. I rode 700 miles through europe in a couple of weeks last year when before that my biggest ride was a 25 mile xcountry race ona mtb when i was 16. So long as you have the right attitude and dont require trousers with a triple digit waist then you'll be fine.

    Youll handle it easy if you have done the 100 milers before, so dont worry about it
