Just think, you've been managing to slot really awesomely long training rides in between all your other activities, whereas the only thing on your agenda this weekend will be to have lots of fun on your bike :). My point is, biking long distances is a lot easier if you're not worried about being home in time for XYZ. <br /><br />Thank you for posting Sonjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-71982092185856831542010-06-16T08:17:33.452-07:002010-06-16T08:17:33.452-07:00I think this commment is the most telling of your ...I think this commment is the most telling of your post "**I did 38km the day before, too, but that kind of distance barely feels like a training ride any more." Yeah, you are ready. If you can say that, remembering that 38km is pretty much 1/4 of what you have to ride in a day, then you will finish just fine.

Friday biking there, Saturday fundraising & party all night in Galway, Sunday biking back. My point is, this year, a group of PhD students from my deparment did this - for charity and for fun.
