Old Roads 300 2023

[Sean Q]

I love this ride and it's an ideal gauge for how things are going pre PBP as similar sort of terrain. However this year it starts at night which is a shame as I personally have no need of night riding experience and I like the challenge of doing it in the light. Living in the South West I really struggle nowadays to find local rides which is a shame, I hanker for the days of Mike and Linda's 'Moor like a 400' and Ian's 'Kernow South West' both great rides.

Can't even find it in the calendar

Sarah Britton runs the calendar event now.  The night start allows a pub finish.

I still run the perm version, which you may start at any time to suit.

It's that 90 day itch, Matt

Oh very clever ...
Anyway, found it now!

Start time suits me, as I did the whole last leg in the dark.
Will see some new views, and save a night's accommodation!
(Ice on my tent for the 2021 lockdown edition.)

Sunrise at 0525: Wiveliscombe @ 154km or further if going better (and no incentive for languid stop at early controls).
Great lunch menu at Cranberry Farm (pub) (310km in 15 hours) - full value must finish by 1930.
