Simon Brooke said:If you can do thirty miles in a day on a reasonably regular basis, you can
do 100 miles as a one off. If you struggle to do ten miles in a day, then
you won't.One hundred miles in a day is not that tough if you're reasonably fit; but
you do need to be reasonably fit.
Off to the swimming pool for myself tonight then.

Won't help unless you are on a hand cycle. The only way to get cycle
fit is to cycle.

If you can't face going out on the bike right now, swimming is better
than sitting on your [censored] watching the gogglebox. Any form of
cardio-vascular exercise is better than nothing.
But yes, if you want to do a 100 mile ride then you can't train for it
in a pool.
