@TSK - I'd want a big heavy medal if I'd done PBP! Not sending off for the SFW brevet wasn't about spending a quid, it was about psychologically committing myself to probably doing a 600, as I've already mentally committed to a 400. I'm posting it tomorrow anyway...
@wools - I have medium and large Ortleib saddlebags I use as appropriate. They come highly recommended.
Have you registered spenceey? If not you can probably turn up and register on the line if you've missed the deadline, but this is at the organiser's discretion. You'll have to pay £2 more than AUK members to cover insurance, unless you already have suitable insurance they recognise.
If you have registered, you should have had a route sheet posted to you, but it's just a matter of turning up, the organiser will be at the start point and give you a brevet card. You get this stamped/fill in info from control points (for example, you might be asked to write down the opening hours of a tourist attraction or the last collection time from a post box) then they keep it at the end and you'll get it posted back to you.
Depending on the Audax you've picked, there may be free food at each stop, paid food, or no food at all.
