    Good luck! I’m planning to do my first (hilly) 300km ride in June. 5500m of elevation 😱 These tips will definitely help.

    Thank you Katie I picked up some useful tips there as I'm planning what is a future epic ride for me anyway which whilst nowhere near the distance you're doing at around 45-50 miles is across quite hilly terrain and so even some of the weather apps you use were of benefit to me as I tend to play the BBC weather app off against the Met Office one in terms of what the weather is going to be like for my ride ahead. I freely admit I am more of a "fair weather" cyclist and so if there's a possibility of a downpour I do tend to avoid going out though if I'm out and it does rain there's nowt you can do about it but plough on so to speak but I'm not the sort that if it's rain hail or shine I'll go out, usually has to be dull or shine though having said that I do like to try and get out when I can. I also found your ideas for food useful as well.

    A good tip when oiling a chain is to oil each link individually. Obviously takes longer but lubricates the chain more effectively and prevents most of the oil spraying off when riding.

    Katie you are so inspiring. Faithful subscriber here. Furthest I ever rode as a teenager was 135 miles. 300 KM? omg. I know you have done longer too. Thanks to you I keep a derailleur hanger in my bike bag. My y-t-d km are just under 900... a long ride is over 2 hours for me. As far as checking tires, people should do this before every ride. I found a deep cut in a tire, and binned it. Going downhill at 70 km/hr is not a good time to learn the hard way (I haven't thank goodness). Your organizational skills are very very impressive. All the best from Canada.

    Not a bad idea to have a little checklist, even for rides that aren't so epic. Simple reminders like put on sunscreen or important stuff to bring. Checking weather ... yes and thanks for those website suggestions.

    I always find that it's a waste of time trying to get an early night, as I just can't get to sleep because it's not my usual time to go to bed. Then after I have tossed and turned for what seems an eternity, I'm even more awake than I would have been if I had stayed up. I just live with the fact that I will get less sleep and be tired when my alarm goes off.

    I wake up at least 1 hour earlier ahead of time to tuck in a large bowl of cereal (it might be whole rice, oats or barley even) cooked and seasoned (mostly bare sauce and oil) the night before; I find I can't really sustain my effort just relying on what I ate the day prior to the task. Don't you do the same? I can't quite remember if you mentioned something like that in the past, if so I'm sorry. And best of luck for your 300 hundred, push it but don't too much, you know what I mean? Well, I can't seem to follow my own advice, but you do it .. stay safe and enjoy it ! 😄😊

Even at 12 hours that's 15.7mph. That's without any stops too. Riding for that length of time for a lot of people is quite daunting so actually I still say that it's a hard challenge.
