Going by train for the Hardboiled worked out pretty well for me - Friday night dinner at home, more eating on the last train to Poole, then hang around the station carpark for an hour (full down jacket came in useful there). Ride (and walk) around Wessex, quick pint and then back in London by midnight so could be reasonably presentable for Sunday lunch with the in-laws.

Yeah, I did the train thing last time I rode Hard Boiled (which I just checked and was way back in 2016 on a TT bike!). My plan back then was to ride back afterwards but my rear light didn't like the new batteries I'd bought for it and so I rode back to Poole and trained home. I didn't know about the 'double' back then.

Good point, well made.
We ended up driving rather than doing the late train thing and we drove between hotels and home so I never had post-ride beers. I may have "carb loaded" in the leadup though.
