Given I missed BCM this year the route is almost 'what if Bryan Chapman, but from London? 🤔' with a slight nudge to Machynlleth instead of Dolgellau, and Welshpool over Newtown.
If the route goes over Shropshire AONB too / Long Mynd etc from Welshpool, it could be great.

No idea about the route but I recognise a lot of the control names from other events so it sounds like something I'd be interested in doing if I'd not done a 1400k a week or two beforehand. Also, having been spoiled on Deano's Darlo rides I'm not super interested in doing X-rated stuff unless there's big AAA points to be had :)
