Yes, but there's not a lot of point. DIY the first 300 km in case you fall off / get hit by a car / lose interest at 302 km.

I think this happened to me when I rode to Edinburgh a few years ago. It worked out about 735km but I think at the time I could only select a 600 so ended up essentially going 135km over for the 6 points. I messaged Paul Stewart about it beforehand and he was cool. Think there might be a 700 option now for DIY?

Anything from 300 to 399 will be validated as a 300.
Time allowance at 14.3kmph avverage for ride distance. As said before, this 'ride distance' is either the shortest distance between controls for advisory route, or actual distance if doing a mandatory route.
Beyond 399km AUK might kick up a bit of a fuss.

Is there a limit to how far over-distance you can go in a DIY?
Like could you have a 300k DIY that's actually 380km? I mean, it's kinda dumb but if you have a specific route in mind, why not? I guess I could extend it out to 400km and do it as a 400k but just wondering.
