Go put a huge air deflector on the back of your 200, get someone else to drive your motor and slipstream your 200 all the way.

Not a bad Idea, especially since I haven't ridden my mountain bike in about 12 months....I wonder why that is:D :D

I've got an Electric bike (don't ask!) if you want....

It has a dynamo on the rear wheel, battery on a tray and a motor to drive the front cog...

Simply pedal downhill to charge the battery up, and then freewheel uphill on the motor.

Piece of pish!

Makes car drivers stare as you zoom up steep gradients without pedaling!

You can borrow it if you like.

Ouch. I did 100miles in a weekend once. I was a lot fitter then :(

Take it easy and you should be OK.
