A summer 200 should be possible. On normal form, if I went full out, I'd take about 7 1/2 hours riding time for that. Add in two breaks of maybe an hour (which is an incredibly comfortable way of doing it), and you only get to about 10-11 hours max with a slightly slower group. As long as everybody knows the schedule and has decent equipment, hopefully mechanical stops should be rare. On the last Brighton overnighter, I think we only had a single puncture. We could also split up into differently-paced groups.
