Coast2Coast (2days) - how difficult?

I'm primarily a runner and a commuter cyclist. I've signed up to do a 2 day Coast2Coast (Workington to Tynemouth) in June.

The guy who organised it is (understandably) encouraging us to train, but also talking about how difficult the ride will be.

My longest ride so far is around 50km/30miles and 700m/2200ft of elevation.

Can anyone either tell me I'll be fine, or tell me that I will be unprepared without ramping up the mileage and climbs?

In terms of my general fitness - I can run a half marathon pretty much at the drop of a hat. And I've ran a couple of full marathons in the last 6 months. I cycle about 60-100km a week, but mostly flat
