Hi,

A mate of mine is a long distance cyclist and has done Lands End to JOG and Race Across America a couple of times 9think he also holds the world record for the longest distance cycled on an indoor bike in a day)!

He's also a mentor/coach and would certainly be happy to share his experiences with you if that helps. Not sure if you can private message me on this forum but if you'd like to chat with him let me know and I'll get you his email address.
