I did the Bentley 12 the first two years it ran (2014&5) unsupported and used the official food station.
It worked well. The first year was better as they had my stuff on a table. The second year I had to bend down to pick it up.
My strategy is to carry more bottles to minimise stopped time. So I carried 4litres aiming for one stop.
I'd do the same again if I rode it again

Hoping for a bit of advice for the upcoming National 12hr TT which I plan on entering. It's on the bumpy Bentley course - H12H/8
@umop3pisdn - I will PM you for some specific questions if that's ok? I know you rode and wrote about it last year.
Main Questions -
I will have support from hours 4 -12. I was going to leave all my stuff at the Hen and Chickens Pub for them, but before that, I was going to label up bottles and have them at the official feed zone. Is this a bad idea or will it work ok?
I plan on having one bottle BTA that I swap each 20 mile lap, plus a backup bottle in a rear cage, just in case I miss one or need extra. Is there a go to BTA mount? I was planning on making my own if not.
Although I will tape food to bottles, I want a backup so planned on having a top tube bento box with backup gels, chews etc. Is there a good one out there? I have a narrow, quite pointed top tube so this one will prob not stay put. It also has poor reviews.
Will prob think of loads more questions, but that's it for now!
