Normal service is resumed (almost): a basic breakfast at the start, all commercial controls bar just the one info control, and a pub finish. You'll maybe twice meet riders on Yorkshire via Essex (Flatlands Reversed) 600km, which starts from Sleaford. The only glitch this year is that there's a wedding at St Mary's so the car park can't be used. (Understandably, there's a bit of a wedding backlog!)
It's a PBP 'pre-qualifier' as it's a BRM event, so is proving popular. Currently standing at 75 entries - I'll close it when we get to 100 and start a waiting list.
As flat as ever, (my helpers and I will check to make sure the weekend before!), lots of 24-hour McDonalds and garages, a few Wetherspoons too, with more cabbages and other vegetables, lazy rivers and drains than you'll see anywhere else in Britain. And probably a hideously exposed head-windy stage or two at some point. Current info and routesheet on the AUK website with GPS tracks available at tomsk.co.uk nearer the time.
