Just to let anyone contempating PBP know that Willesden CC are running a full qualifying series from places that are easy for London based rider to reach.
The first three events fan out from Chalfont St Peter. Each offers catering at the start and finish and commercial controls.
The Willy Warmer 200K (22 Jan) takes you across the Chilterns and Newbury Downs on a revised route.
The 3Down 300K (2 Apr) runs to the far side of the New Forest. Hilly stretches alternate with long flatter intervals, making this ride suitable for trying a big distance the first time.
On 30th April, the 400K Severn Across takes in the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean and the spectacular ride across the Severn Bridge before a stretch of night riding.
The Beast from the East 600K(28th May) runs from Waltham Abbey to Taunton and back Refreshments at the start and finish, award winning roadside catering at two stops, sleep facilities and food in Yeovil are all included in the price.
In addition there will be a PBP warmup ride where you can select either 230K or 300K, on 30th July, starting at Baldock.
You can now enter all the qualifiers (2/300 have online entry) via the Audax UK site (non-members - though to do PBP you really need to join - can use http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-435 to access the 600K form).
There will be medals and free entry to the warmup for anyone who successfully completes all four rides.
