I reckon we should do it as a forum ride, courier bags and cut off denim shorts. Fixed of course. At least unlike the New Oxford St ride it wouldn’t require training.

Alternatively, and perhaps more sensibly, we could do the New Oxford Street parcours as a bike packing endurance ride. All frame bags, dynamos, low gears, pizzaand sleeping at bus stops. Sadly there is no petrol station on the route.

^ Pretty much that.
I watch the dots, I streetview the places, I see the demented grins in the selfies of those who have suffered (are suffering)... and it looks wild (the good kind).
Then I do a solo hundred miles or London to Brighton and back, and frankly I know I prefer the tour to the race, and remember that whilst I like the occasional mountain more than a few in a day is beyond my idea of fun. The thought of that just being one in a sequence of days is pretty vivid... it would be hell.
I know I'd scratch, in this case somewhere between CP2 and CP3 at best.
