not at all, a couple of months 3-6 and you can cruise it at your pace and have a jol, its nice to have a year to plan train , get to know your partner. easily doable. go for it, make it a year project and you will build it up in your mind and enjoy it even more,

this year we getting the updates daily and we kicking our asses for not doing it

My 1 st J2C was in 2011 and my 2nd was 2014 - age 53 and 56

Plus/minus 10 hours per week training

Nutrition at the race? - More food than you can handle. I actually put on weight during the event. 

Enjoyment factor - huge

 

We have more than 40 multiday events under our belt so we have a little experience

It's an exquisite ride, it's a great reason to train, the people along the route take very good care of you and it's extremely well organised.

 

Do it.
