Remember: this is an adventure so all stats are approximate and daily distances and climbing are an average. Some days will be bigger than others. You've been warned!

Yes. You WILL need to train. Gulp.

Your goal is to be able to cycle the average daily distance and climbing for your week within 7-8 hours.

Bear in mind that you'll have to do this for 6 or 7 days straight. In the height of summer. With only an air mattress to sleep on. (Hehehehe - you're gonna love it!)

​We're not your mamas and papas, so we're not going to tell you how to train, but if you use your bike regularly around town and you make the time to go on one longer ride every week, then we reckon that pretty much anyone should be able to get up to the fitness required for the
🗻🗻 weeks, Bristol to Paris and Thessaloniki to Athens.

Sign up early enough and you'll have 4-5 months to train. That means that your 18 longer weekly rides could start at 10km and build up to 100km by adding only 5km per week. Totally doable!

Even the toughest weeks are within your grasp if you're willing to commit to training. We think you'll be amazed by what you're capable of.

And remember - as always on thighs - whatever happens, the whole crew will be there to support you every pedal of the way!
