Woodchip said:One thing I read about to the LE to JO route is to post your clean clothes to the hostels that you'll be staying. This reduces your weight by a fair bit. Also, make sure you have a good road bike (not an mountain bike) with plenty of "scabs" for those annoying puctures. Drink lots of fluid, and set yourself acheivable targets each day. The main point to remember though is.... HAVE FUN
Oh, and don't fall off.
Whilst training make sure it is progressive, don't try to do 50 miles on your first outing, as it will only put you off. Start with small local loops every other day, then gradually expand on these. The recommendation is to ride 70% of your target distance when training when coming upto the event.
I highly recommend this book.... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bicycling-M...6679621?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177417017&sr=8-4
