I've foolishly agreed to the above for charity. Day 1 Cardiff to Oxford 120 miles, day 2 Oxford to London 60 miles.

Now then, just doing this is not enough of a challenge or funny enough. What can I do to liven things up a bit? One of my sponsors has offered double if I ride in a dress (a colleague has an old peach coloured bridesmaid dress that she has offered), or do I do it on the full-suss pulling my kiddy trailer?

Suggestions please.......

Cardiff to Oxford is just about the most unpleasant road ride I've been on - but then I was on the A40. Very monotonous, busy, not flat, and it takes a long long long time to make any kind of progress. It's boring to drive never mind ride.

You probly won't go that way tho ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd say take the kiddy trailer, and fill it with stuff like champagne on ice, roast turkey, chocolate bars to hand out to fellow riders etc.

Why not fill the whole thing with Cadbury's Heros and offer them for free to anyone who can reach down and grab as you ride along without falling off ๐Ÿ™‚

Just had the suggestion of wearing a bikini for the trip.
