Getting consistent

Yet again this weekend just gone Steve and I did our practice route and covered the 34 mile circuit in 5 hours which includes an hour to stop for lunch. I'm feeling quite comfortable on the bike now and hopefully a little more practice and i shall be prepared for the trek. My bike is running fairly smoothly and Steve needs to make a small adjustment to his bottom bracket which should only take an hour or so.
I've managed to get most of the route drawn out and it is currently at 223miles. My next step is to get some NCN maps and ordnance survey maps of the areas we will be cycling through. I'll see if I can borrow from a few people. There seem to be different types of ordnance survey with different levels of detail and I'm unsure just what I need.
Only 3 weeks of preparation to go, its getting close now.
