Fair enough. Speaking of doing. I've picked, booked accommodation and entered my 400 for the year (given that's what's considered a 'Good Idea (TM)' for PBP2011 early registration).
Snowdon & Coast 400 from Upton Magna nr Shrewsbury. Saturday June 12th.
Only 4200m of climbing but 1900m of that is in one 100km section through Snowdonia.
"
From Shrewsbury we cross into Wales and along the Tanat valley and over the Milltir Cerrig ('Stone Mile') to the first control in Bala. Continue across Snowdonia past Llyn Celyn and over the wilds of Migneint to Betws y Coed; then over Pen y Pass to refuel at Pete's Eats in Llanberis. The mountains give way to the sea after Beddgelert as you head down the coast road past Harlech's grand castle and across the Barmouth bridge. Head inland along the Mawddach Trail to Dolgellau and over Cadair Idris to Machynlleth. Easy to navigate leg home from Aberystwyth on the A44 over Plynlimon to Newtown and the return to Shrewsbury.

67" should be fine, done most of those roads on the Bryan Chapman (looking forward to seeing Pen y Pass in daylight, but doubt I'll see Cadair Idris in daylight. Meh.)
Need to get off my arse and restart commuting by bike and then blatting around Richmond Park and the Surrey Hills. I've ridden a massive 56km so far this year.
