Dynamo 100% I think if you are trying to go fast you want to minimise the mental load. I don't have a single complaint about a dynamo setup

There's a lot to be said for that but, on the other hand, if there is advantage to be gained from saving the Watts, at some point the additional mental load of remembering to recharge becomes worth it.
It's a bit like do I always follow my route because that's the easiest thing to do, or might I change it sometimes eg to go round a storm. It's easier mentally to follow the pink line but it might be faster to do the thinking.

Ah, sorry to hear that.
Think they must have been inundated. Having had to pick people to run the London Marathon for a charity I used to work for I don't envy them having to make the decision.
A couple of us have jumped on the reserve list for Sverige Tempot (northern tip of Sweden to the south, 2100km or so- technically a brevet I think?). DIY option of that or GBDuro still on the cards, dependent on all restrictions.
Still going to go ahead and build a bike for these types of events, probably a Mason Bokeh. Interested to hear what the latest take on dynamo vs battery pack is? Currently leaning towards a dynamo setup.
