Does anyone know the route or approximate route (ie. some of the towns it passes thu and the sequence).
I need to get my head around making preparations for sleeping and this requires knowing where I'll be at around 300-400km.
I see it starts at 6am Saturday and closes at 10pm Sunday
My pace on Denmead 300 was 5hrs 11mins per 100km (including stops). I'd like to target 5hrs 30mins per 100 but realise that may be too 'hot' over hilly terrain.
6hrs per 100km means the following:
100km 12:00 sat
200km 18:00 sat
300km 00:00 sun
400km 06:00 sun
500km 12:00 sun
600km 18:00 sun
That leaves 4 hours spare. I can't see me sleeping as such, rather cat-napping. I could see that having a couple of hours 3am-5am may be nice, in order to wake up at a 'normal' time but I don't know if it's possible to time it nicely like that.
5.5hrs/100km buys me 7 hours kip but like I said, I doubt if I can maintain that sort of pace over anything but flattish terrain.
Maybe I need to refine my 'quick-stop' strategy even further to buy more time on the road.
