The plan is to take a 5 minute break every hour and a 10-15 minute one every two hours or so. Ideally we would plan to get about 65-70 miles before a lunch break of about 1.5 hours.
It's not a race so we haven't planned for high speeds and they will obviously vary if we are going up a hill or on the flat.
That's the plan before we start time will tell whether that is how it unfolds. Its the wind that is the real unknown and could affect us a lot.
Our time table for the day is therefore as follows:
So we hope to be at the Bradford on Avon office just before 9am for a bacon bap at Bath Bakery and we will cross into Wales just after 3pm. Wales brings the biggest climb of the day rising to 700ft with 15 miles to go. Arriving in Pontypool just after 6pm.
