Where to start? Only got a bike from decathlon (it has a basket) and furthest I’ve riden is 11 miles. I’ve a place in this year’s ride 100!

Looking forward to your hard-earned knowledge
Thanks for your comparison. I do use MMR already. Strava was suggested to me, but I don’t want to pay a fee.
I’d love to receive your tips re long rides.
I am 70, and am finding it difficult to keep up with younger people on the 60k rides.
