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!

Yeah logistics is a part of it but I've also started a new fairly intense job since I entered, and taking the best part of two weeks out and coming back as a complete shell is also weighing quite heavy on my mind.
It feels a bit 'right ride, wrong time' at the moment. As you say I am going to regret not doing it but when I signed up in Jan circumstances were different. It'll be a shame but one to revisit!

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.
