Surely this will end up with about 50 names or ~ half the field right?!  Really looking forward to this, got audaxes and time trials booked in for almost every weekend up until the end of May, and this one is the last 'big event' before buggering off on tour for a month in July.

[MattH]

And, of course, the problem with this type of list is that you look at it and think "Do I really want to spend a weekend with that lot?"   

[BlackSheep]

There are a lot of shy wallflowers, less than half of the YACF AUKS have coughed to the roll call ....

[arvid]

This is where I say I haven't done 1000km in total this year yet, but am on the list. I should plan getting to Chepstow now. Is there a camping nearby? Does anyone have a good route from Harwich to Chepstow? (with a recommended camping or B&B underway?)

Also, participation is still under the assumption that my ankle behaves. I'll book a ferry after Easter if everything goes the way I want it to go.

The bit from Harwich to about 100km west of there is fairly easy to find a pleasant route, though it will have lanes so would be best with a GPS. From Buntinford westwards I can't help so much, but one idea is that you could use the route of some audax events that visit Chepstow or nearby. One way would be to get to Stow on the wold or nearby then follow The Dean's route from there but there will be hills. Or, more directly, go via Oxford, follow the route of the Poor Student to Malmesbury, then reverse the route of The Dean stage from Chepstow to Malmesbury.

Oxford to Chepstow via Malmesbury:

Harwich to Buntingford + Oxford:

The leg to Buntingford should be laney but detail is not worked out, but I know that route from Harwich out through Manningtree. The drivers in Manningtree are a bit mad though. From Finchingfield to Buntingford is actually from a local 200k and is a pleasant route. From there onwards to Oxford is the part I can't offer anything for, so what's shown is just the random route selected by google and needs some other input.

I should plan getting to Chepstow now. Is there a camping nearby?

I'm gonna have a room at the local Travelodge for the Friday & Sunday night you can use if you want.

You won't be.  You'll be back at Chepstow smoking your pipe before they get to Knighton

Ah, Knighton - that place where you can stop for a rewarding ice-cream.

As if the previous 15 miles with over 1000 foot of downhill weren't reward enough

It's a long way for some of us to travel from North Yorkshire to South Wales!  SimonB will have to make his own tea this time.
