Chatted to an ACH on the Poor Student - he said you had a bakers dozen up for it at that time
The offer quoted from above is still there. A brew and feed here and there and maybe a bivvy station or two. I'm not going to ride having done it last year. Saving dodgy knees for Mille P, LEL and various other daft things but free on your dates. You may well prefer the full "b***bustin" falling asleep while tying your shoelaces, hedge-monster experience, of which I heartily approve. No offence either way and if you don't mind I may stalk your progress and do a few miles with you. (No drafting for you naturally
)

This is an awesome offer, thank you! ...I've got the dates in my diary too, and am planning to give it a go. Controlling at home, and then setting off to ride to Newbury and back to Poole is going to be a test of character!
