Colleagues suggested this would be a worthy challenge and having not ridden my mountain bike since September last year, it sounded like a good reason to get some training in. 

I am by no means a regular rider and as I have not ridden a road bike for 30 plus years, sounds like I have 5 months of serious training to get in before the event.
