The challenge is to ride 100 miles in 1 day from Kirkby in Ashfield back to Manchester.

I'm doing the ride on my 3 speed Brompton so I'm sure the hills will be challenging. Having wheels smaller than a childs BMX I'm sure will be painful and memorable.

You smarty pants will work out that the distance from Kirkby back to Manchester is about 65 miles. We are riding the long route back which will include 6358 ft. of climbing.
