Nice1 laner....
Just to mention though that credit for this route lies with Ste5 and jonny, iirc. Also, although i'm sure the following would be pointed out, and I hope to come along anyway, happily backstopping if required, but a few notes on the route that may be helpful.....
7.7 miles. One-way road. Fine at night, but best to carry on to the junction and do a quick left and right turn during the day
11.1 miles. Laundry Lane can be a little sketchy especially as it's early in the route - very narrow with potential for debris.
27.8 miles. Dead straight descent on an empty wide road. BRAP!
33.6 miles. Better to convene 100m further down the road at the T-junction as the section before that is rolling and always strings out the group.
82.9 miles. The turn is on a slight descent and easy to overshoot or brake too suddenly for the group.
85.9 miles. Winsley Hill is very steep with a couple of broad sweeping turns. Give yourself space and be assertive with position watching your speed if req. Nothing to fear really though... unless your brakless.
