Just reading about it: https://ridewithgps.com/ride_reports/1643-roadkilljoe-and-the-yr-elenydd with a 40% road. Sounds like something I need to add to my list.

Good to read.
The route has changed a few times. Nowadays it starts from Tewkesbury (which is a pleasant night ride out from London, but maybe not in March)
I did it a couple of years before that guy but starting from Upton Magna as well, and it was really cold. There was a lot of snow lying on the route, and much lingering in controls trying to thaw out, and lots of riding in the dark / late finish.
The guy who ran it used to put camp beds in the hall the night before and after, so you could make a weekend of it.

Elenydd is an epic ride. I think it was the hardest audax I've done, but in a good way.
I've got a perm card for Mark Rigby's Ben Allen ... Dragons 600, which I haven't plucked up courage to do yet. Needs a decent amount of daylight.
