Losing bottles is a distinct possibility on the northern end of the Breckland 12hr course. They've resurfaced most of the southern end, so it's not too bad, but while there are plans to do the northern section they're not going to be done until much later this year. In one race on the Breckland 100 (largely the same as the main bit of the 12hr course) I lost three out of four bidons, two of them before I'd even managed to drink from them.

12hr Maybe I'll go back to using the Shiv's Fuelselage thing in the downtube - if for no other reason than 500ml of bonus liquid. I really don't like fighting (or losing) bottles from the seat cage for 12 hours.
Another option is to just grab bottles, drink and throw them at someone else down the road.
These days it's like the 24hr - everything coming down to one event per year so if any of your decisions are shit it's basically all over. Unlike the 24hrs though I'm doing 0 road training, it's all turbo because I hate London now so it's making practical decisions a little trickier although I did the same last year.
