Really liked your perm write up, D0m1n1c.
I liked your article too Dominic.
Next time you plan a DIY, maybe you would like me to have a look at your route before you ride it. I might know what you can get at your control towns.
And yes, that road from Barton Le Clay to Hitchin is a bit lumpy.
Thanks Steve. I must say, I'm really pleased with the positive responses my article has been having, it makes the effort of writing it all the more worthwhile.
I rode the second half of the 400k this year again, as a 200k DIY. Funnily enough, it hasn't got any flatter
I'll gladly bounce ideas for routes off you. The problem I run into the most in the planning stage is not finding good roads with nice views etc, but ensuring I can find somewhere to obtain the required proof of passage. Thanks for the offer
