Do the courses tend to be well marshalled?
Mostly, but the onus is on the rider to know and follow the course. The only place where people go wrong* on the H25/2 is getting off the A404 either too early (Hurley/Henley slip) or too late (heading off down the A404M) on the way out. If you have some sort of computer, have the distance on the display and tape pace notes to your stem, it's très Pro, particularly at this time of the year
*unless they are a total fucking moron and go straight on at the turn roundabout, cough. In my defence, there was a version which turned at Woodley rather than Sonning.

The other thing to watch out for on the H25/2 is turning a roundabout too soon on the A4. There are two about a mile apart - you need to carry on to the second one.
The Highways Authority no longer allows anyone other than approved contractors to put signs up on the A404, so don't rely on a sign telling you where to come off (there most likely will be a Marshall though).

Thank you that's a great idea. I'll pop on google maps too. I'm sure this is all pretty academic given the speeds I'll be going at - I could probably whip out an OS map!

I have my first time trial in a couple of weeks (H25/2). Can I ask a few total novice questions - like do people leave stuff at HQ (like car keys and kit)? Do the courses tend to be well marshalled? I've obviously looked at the course description and map but just wondering in the heat of the race - will it be obvious where to go at all the roundabouts/slip roads? I'm very new to training/racing with power. I have a 20 min figure, but is there any place I can read up on what sort of percentage of that power I should be trying to put out for a 25 mile tt?
Thanks so much for any help!
