I've just booked a B&B in Bournemouth with the intention of riding back on Sunday. It's not much more expensive than the train, and naturally I'm hoping that "every mile will pay a dividend".
Just one query about the route. It's not my ride and of course I'll follow the organiser where ever he wants to go, but I wonder why the planned route on the map shows a loop going south of Guildford which seems to be off the direct line between start & finish. There is a reasonable route from Richmond to Farnham going by way of Chertsey, Chobham, Knaphill, past Brookwood cemetery, and then on to the A324 (not generally specially busy) to Ash and then Farnham, just about 10 miles before the above mentioned Four Marks climb. Just a suggestion - I'll certainly use this route on the way back.
