  • Superb, thanks very much. So as I understand it, Meopham is 40k from home on the walking directions thing, so I just need to find an intermediate point to add in that will take it up to 50k each way and then make sure I ride that way. And submit the GPS track afterwards.

  • Paul isn't getting his email at the moment so you would probably need to try one of the other DIY organisers. Any of them will do in Paul's absence.

    If it were me, rather than 50/50 I'd make it 60k on the way there and 40k (i.e. direct) on the way back. I find extra extra miles after a ride much harder mentally than before the ride.

  • I can see the sense in that. On the other hand it makes for a less early start splitting it equally and I suspect the less sleep deprived I am at the start, the better.
    Finding the flattest, most easy to follow route is probably the most sensible thing. Unfortunately the route I know to Meopham involves a fair bit of climbing (though does come in at almost exactly 50k).

    Of course I really need to be toughening myself up for BCM, so I probably shouldn't be trying to make it too easy for myself in terms of sleep, distance or climbing...
