So I am in Canada at the moment and a great opportunity to do some touring has come up. The group are cycling coast to coast starting in Vancouver but I would be looking to do the first two weeks with another two people.

The problem is, in those two weeks they are looking to cover 1700km which is through the Rockies for a considerable period. I haven't been on a bike in two months and haven't been doing much in terms of aerobic training. When I was at home I cycled about 20km daily and would do spins of around 60k at the weekend.

Is there any chance that I can be even slightly prepared for this at the start of May? I have a good bit of time throughout the day for training so can put the hours in but I think that it would probably be too little too late? If not, is there anyone who can recommend an intense training regime which could get me near to the point where its only painful as opposed to impossible?

Cheers
