I think finding a group is going to be key for me - hoping that sharing a room with Vesalius and a colleague from another place will mean at least I get to start with people!
Did the Shaftesbury 200 last weekend, starting late having ridden up from London, and ended up probably only doing about 30k in company. Took me 11.5 hours for the audax itself, and a total of 19 (including a 20-30 min mechanical) for the day, which I made 337 km.
I reckon I passed 300k at about the 17 hour mark, which felt a bit slow at the time, but looking back on it isn't really that bad given I'd done almost all of it on my own. Reassures me I've got a chance of getting round the Dean anyway ...
