If you have time & desire to train I'd recommend working up to doing back-to-back days of 80km/day. When you feel great after doing back-to-backs your ready to go.
No matter what you'll achieve a zen-like-oneness with your bicycle after two weeks on the road.
This is exactly right!!!
You ass and your hands will dictate when to get off the bike for the first few days. It's easy to cover this distance if you have all day. Don't worry about being in great shape. You can do it given enough hours.
