Gosh. Am I spoiling my riders? We've got deluxe accommodation at the start, with a church hall booked for the Friday night. I've also booked the same hall from 2pm Sunday, although I expect fast riders might beat me back from Corby Glen. Not to worry, I'll make some provision for them. We've got the finish control booked until 10pm, so there's an opportunity for the riders (and me!) getting some rest before setting of home, but there is no post-ride overnight stop.
The mid-ride sleep stop at Corby Glen is going to be a tight squeeze as I calculate there's room for half the number of beds as riders. I'll have some tents there to give me more lying-down space but the bed times are going to have to be rationed. I hope it's not a cold night. But it's a qualifier, right? It's just a training ride for the 1200k main event, right?
I just hope I can get enough sleep on Friday night to allow me to drive to Corby Glen for the overnight control, and to drive back for the finish control.
By the way, there's no chance of anyone on the waiting list to get a ride.
