You may be given a pass for this one. I'll expect a 'virual' cycle to be completed though.
Is this the reason you moved?

All depends on his behaviour between now and then!

I would love to do the virtual bike ride, but as all my evening and weekends are taken up with rehearsals for an open air show at the moment I'm not going to have time to train.
Beginning of March I will be starting my training for Le Race with a gym subscription to make the most of their Watt Bike and light weight training. Not to mention getting my commute bike up and running so I can ride to work every day.
It depends which one you're using!
I suggest doing the 50 miles on a Turbo trainer - that should be punishment enough...

Well as you asked so nicely...
Seriously though, if the L2B is too much - I have got a dodgy knee - I may need to reign in longer rides.

Well done Motogull. Cycling's good for dodgy knees, so you'll be fine(!)

It can be done.
I once set out on my bike as an overly keen 11 year old (sporting my new, shiny gatorade thermal top) at about 8am and once out decided I'd try and do 100 miles. I managed 90 but was pulled over by the police at about 4.30 when nearly home as my parents reported me missing!
How did they found you?!

My mum says they left a couple of policemen with her and the rest went out looking for the cars of local 'known' paedos!

Right - I'm in! I had a quick scan of the rules, skipped the scoring system and started off by picking the best track squad I could see. Let's just say I'm playing this by ear...
Join the club!
Picked 4 of them because they were expensive and in form, spent the rest on relatively poor riders to make the budget fit.

I'm also hoping 'local knowledge' will play a part...

I went for a couple of local lads too.
Ah bless, all that only to end the first day with:-Join the club!

How the fook did Mikel Astarloza win that?
Jesse Sergent more like!
Time Trialist, better make a transfer. Managed to spread my budget to Aussie Zak Dempster!
