Thank you, very useful. I'll grab a few pages from a road atlas for marking off-route shops along the way for good measure. Going to borrow a light weight waterproof from my brother so I can take a synthetic down jacket for some warmth overnight too, I've noticed that my core temperature drops a lot quicker than it used to.
Intend to take it steady the whole way, I've got spinny chainrings and am happy letting the guys I might ride with race off at the beginning again, worked well for me on the Newport 200 as I ended up finishing 45 minutes before them somehow!
