First of all how long do plan to take to do the ride where you going to stay overnight
and whats your back up plan or support crew.
Then route
Coming out of Manchester you would need to head out through
Stockport Poynton
Macclesfield
This bit alone is fairly hilly and you need to pick your roads carefully as some are busy.
Then head for Stoke on Trent
Burton on Trent
Nuneaton
This moves you eastward you need then to drop down towards northampton then towards Luton
I would suggest you drive the route before you do it also use cycle routes if your not use to road cycling.
Done a few big rides in my time I am an out and out road man always have been but you really need to know the route and a lot of planning needed
Good Luck
