Sleep in what you ride in, unless you're cheating with a bag drop in which case I'd probably ack some gold hot pants with UP FOR IT or KITTEN or similar printed across the arse.
Boxers or running shorts would be my actual choice.

Running shorts with mesh liner win. Failing that pussy galore gold hot pants

A LEL veteran I was chatting to on way back from Dunwich last week told me that doing the fens at night can be a good idea as headwinds are often less bad. Which is presumably generally on the return leg.
IMHO The Holland Fen is the worse part of the LEL.

Do not join a whatsapp group with @coldharbour... you'll regret it.

I've no idea at all how things are going to work out with sleep which makes it all a bit unpredictable. I've had one 600k audax I slept fine on, the rest I've lain down and then totally failed to be able to sleep at all. I'm assuming tiredness will take over sooner or later, but this has potential to wreck any schedule I make so I'm not going to get too hung up over which controls I stop at.
(also I picked really stupid bag drop locations in a hurry so won't be relying on sleeping at those).
Minor question I've been contemplating - what are people going to wear at controls when sleeping? I had assumed I'd just take some boxer shorts and leave more in drop bags. But then could be cold (and/or embarrassing) sitting around eating in those. Anyone have any suggestions for some ultra lightweight pyjama trousers?
