As im probably the weakest cyclist with some hope of trying to do the 100 miles (but no chance on the time)....could you come up with a kind of (cant think of the words) levels to work up to.


Say 50,60,70,80 mile rides in a certain amount of time?
What do want to do Al, just cover 100 miles or cover it in a certain time, all depends on terrain and weather conditions. If you just want to cover the distance, build up your mileage sensibly.
I've covered 100 miles a few times, slowest time 8 hours, fastest 5 hours 17 mins, the latter was easier due to good weather and flatter terrain.
