Hopefully you're over the flu and stuff.
Severn Across is a really nice 400 - it's not ever so challenging (these things are all relative and it's still riding a bike 400km!), a few rolling bits, couple of bigger hills (Yat Rock and Somerset Monument are the two biggest leg-stretchers) and plenty of flat'n'fast stuff.
I rode it this weekend - the weather was miserable, but there were some short breaks in the rain where everything looked very pretty as you go through the Cotswolds (tour of Tory heartland with all the banners and stuff out - I was pleased to see some good graffiti on several of them including a well intentioned but poorly implemented conversion of Robert somethingorother to Nobert and some of Dave's banners with cocks drawn on them).
I will be at the finish helping with tea and toast and so on.
Say hello at the end (if you can still talk)!

I am starting to struggle. I completed my 200 and 300s without faff and reasonably quickly but then went out for a social ride with a pal when I was coming down with flu and it really knocked me. As I was riding I was thinking "I am ill, I must not associate feeling like this with the long ride", but I do a bit and now I have a bit of a mental block on Severn Across at the weekend; I am really just hoping that it is dry and reawakens my love of cycling a long way.
