There are no BRM 600s before 10th May (the end of the window that the 200 must be done in) but there have been in previous years and so some people have qualified for PBP with 4 x 600km BRM rides.
This year you could qualify with 1x400 (before 10th May) and then 3 x 600s (one on the 23/24th May weekend just before the 300km ride deadline, another on one of the two weekends after that before the 300km deadline, and then a final one before the 28th June).
Anyone picking one of the 600s on the 13th June is in for some fun. 9500m climbing or 10150m climbing for the Pendle 600. Oof.
(A climbing figure alone doesn't tell the full story, I find the K&SW600 with 8200m climbing much harder than the BCM600 with 8300m climbing. Welsh hills aren't as steep as Devon/Cornwall. But 9500m is a lot and 10150m is rather bonkers.)
