Nope. We went through it the other night. While I may have ridden bits of it for 2000mi some bits I've never ridden. It's far more complicated than this year's Breckland course and is going to make support with 1/4 of the team very tricky.
I may still bin it. It's still pretty painful sitting down and I only just managed to get through two 8min intervals at SS today. So recovery is slower than it used to be. Also, I started too hard at Breckland so in theory if I paced better I should be in a far better state than I was in last weekend. First long TT I've messed the pacing up on or at least first one in a really long while.

Isn't it the 24 course? You must know it as well as anyone! When I did Newbury 12 and 24 in the same year I found the 24 course significantly slower than the A31.
Brave to go for it. When I tried to do a second 12 in a season I started well but ran out of power half way round. But everyone's recovery is different, and you are still a bit younger than I was then, so hope it works!
