Question by Favour: Fitness plan to prepare for a long cycling trip?
I’m going to be going on a 700km+ cycle over a period of about 12 days in 6 months time and I would like to know if anyone has any fitness plans or ideas that will help me to prepare. Apart from just getting out and doing a lot of cycling I’d like to know how to stagger the preparation in order to be comfortable with cycling 70km or so per day during the ride.

70k/ day is not a hard trip. if you really want to train up for it then the only way would be just to ride.
you could try a gym to strengthen your legs if you feel you need it, or you could jog of course.
