Yes, I did it last year single speed. I did two big loops from Camberley. All I will say is that it was fucking cold. Also, single speed was perfect from a rhythm perspective and just being able to switch off mentally, however it wasn't so great in the Cotswold's and Chilterns - obviously.

I spent a lot of time doing 200+km rides last year though so it wasn't actually that bad. Amey, unless you've done a lot of long distance stuff this year... then beware. 500k is no small feat... unless your name is @hippy or @skinny

i'm not that interested in long distance stuff, but i'd like to do 400 for my 40yo birthday. did going back into london help with more lit streets and the extra 1/2 degrees ?

Good points @JB I was going to message you anyway ..

I havent done anything longer than 150 miles this year, maybe I'll do it in 2 rides instead of one, I was going to draw the long route with bail out points (was planning 27th onwards).
