Sorry to hear about 3P. A smaller race is the Ardennes Monster; 1025km, 18000hm and start and finish in Namur https://themonster.be/en/

Oh no, that's a shame!
Have you definitely decided or just leaning that way, and is logistics the main reason, or straw / camels back?
I say that because the logistics on these things are definitely a pain but it looks like a stunning route and a shame to miss out and, if you are still a bit undecided, there can be a danger of overthinking it and getting psyched out by the logistics. I remember on IndyPac driving myself half mad trying to work out whether to first go to the finish, a hotel, the place where my clothes / stuff had been sent to, etc - and I never worked out the right answer - because there wasn't a perfect one. But things do get sorted out, bike boxes and rolls of tape do turn up, people do get home, etc.
If you have definitely decided to pull out, good luck in getting onto something else and apologies if I encouraged you to sign up!
Think I'm going to pull the pin on TPBR, I just cba starting and finishing in different places. The ride would be fun but the logistics are just too much faff.
Any other events in Europe over summer anyone recommends, (with same start/finish point) likely to have places at this stage? 1000-2000km would be the sweet spot.
