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 ...

It was a cold wet horrible day outside the White Rock in Underriver today, hope everyone on here got round OK.
Did anyone on here ride fixed? the only two I saw I already know Paul & John are not on here. -
Could have been a lot worse. I quite enjoyed it.

Were you manning the control? Awesome work if so, not a nice day to be doing it! I wimped out and took gears.
Yes I was the tall bald one, well when my hat was off anyway, Dan had the green jacket & glasses :)

Ive booked a hotel for friday night. bit exxy but looks plush - and it wasnt much more than anything else I could find that was near the start.
Hopefully it translates into a good night's sleep and an on-time start
Did the Kennet valley 200 a couple of weeks back and punctured - lost the fast group and ended up finishing (a bit destroyed) in 9:27 with a very slow (about 40 min) puncture repair & some pretty long cafe stops at the last 2 controls.... so I've backed myself to make the train.
However, I dont recall ever having done more than 140miles in a day, so I'm hoping I can find a group to pace myself with.
