I reckon very realistic. I'm an overweight Mancunian 40 something who used
to be able to do 100 miles in a day, but haven't done more than 15 this
year. If you can do it, I can do it. Drop me a line privately and let's
see if we can set up some weekend rides out for practice. I live in South
Manchester, about 3 miles from Bicycle Doctor.
