  • Do they only run 600s before PBP? The last 600 of the year seems to be June 20th.

    I was thinking of doing one in late July, early August on the road bike to suss out any issues with it before PBP.

    Will I have to do one as a Perm?

  • Anything above 300 is running early this year due to PBP. Usually the last is early July before the nights shorten too much. Once most people are over their SR series in any given year, there isn't a lot of demand for them.

    It'll be a Perm basically. You could do the Lincolnshire Poacher 400k on 11/07 and then ride home from there to bump up the distance. Get follow the A17 & A15 south after the event while the roads are quiet as far as Peterborough (services just by the A1) and then pick your way south from there. Should be easy enough to draw up a GPS track of mostly minor A and B roads until you're back on familiar territory.

  • Might not have enough time to do it. Mersey is Jul 18/19, leaving 3 weekends before PBP weekend. 1st/2nd of Aug would be best then I guess.

    I could do Straight Outta Hackney three times :)
