about doing the Manchester 100 ride in September.I'm a very overweight 30-something who mainly uses her bike for
pootling to the shops and such. The furthest I usually ride is about
5 miles. Oh and my bike is [censored] (tho there is a possibility I might
be getting a shiny new one in July).How realistic is it that I could be able to cycle 62 miles in one day
by September? Obviously I'd need to train/practice, can any suggest
how much and how often?ta

Why not try it anyway? It will give you something to work towards as a
target and if you set off on the day and see how far you can get without
expecting to necessarily complete the whole distance, you might be
surprised how far you get. I did an imperial double century of 220
miles that way and flabbergasted myself.
