I took a lot of advice for cycling further distances form this group
and elsewhere on the infoweb. I did a big (200km) cycle at the weekend
using all the information gained and found it quite easy. So, to
recap...this is what i did
drank 3 pints water before starting, 1 with energy powder mixed in
prepared 2 litres energy drink for every 4 hours cycling
ate banana, cake, energy bar every hour
break every 2-3 hours for coffee, food or lunch
only smoke on breaks

Nice one. Got any 300s lined up yet? ;-)

Just imagine how easy you'd find it if you gave up completely!

i really want to do the Oxford 313 km, but dont know if i have the legs
for it yet. i did make one mistake this weekend, by not having a break
in the last 65 km. this meant when i finished i would probably not
have been able to go much further. but, the wind was in my face all
the way
i was only joking about the cigarettes :-)

It's meant to be a tough one -- 3900m of climbing. I'm contemplating it
but will see how I feel after the next 200 in a couple of weeks before
deciding for sure...

I did wonder - but still fell for it. Pah!

Be warned, that is quite a tough one if you're not used to the
distance, though it looks as though Nik has knocked a few km off this
year. See <http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/nikw/DN3006/DN300Intro.htm>.
Be sure to say hello if you're there.
