Hi, yes, they start in Ingleby Barwick. The church has agreed with the school to provide facilities free of charge to me, so I should be able to have somewhere nice to come back to with tea/coffee and homebaked cakes. Perhaps some quiche too.
I had help in choosing the date, it doesn't clash with anything. The are local Sportives and the Darlo "Hell of the North" on different weekends. It seemed as though the 14th September was an ideal date to choose.
The 50km and 100km start times will be 10:30am, giving plenty of time for the excellent train connections. You could even make it up from London in time for the beginning of these; although if you are travelling that far I'd heartily recommend the KttR 100km Audax.
I have sent an email to the Sporting Lodge nearby to see if I can get an "Audax Special" rate for anyone wanting to stay over for the start of the 200km. I'll let you know what I hear back.
I have had a great deal of help getting ready for this, and I'm just beginning to advertise that it will happen. I'm so please the church PCC agreed to support me and save all the venue costs. I have a lot of work to do between now and the April deadline to get the event fully detailed in the AUK calendar and details on supporting websites.
This is so much fun.
