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.

Tewkesbury
Anyone know of a nice way to get there by train from west London?
All I can come up with is:
Paddington -> Tewks or Ealing -> Reading -> Swindon -> TewksGWR trains are shit for bikes with their random 2 bike slots and it'd be Friday just after peak hour so wonder if there's a less stressful way of getting over there. Missus not keen on overnight ride over there.

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.
