I've added a 100km supporting event to the 200km Horsepower, that I first ran last year as a PBP qualifier. All the information and route sheets are up on AUKweb now - keep those entries coming in!
200km [07:30 start] is the same route as 2015: controls at Lavenham, Snetterton Park and Newmarket. The 100km [09:00] is an out-and-back to Newmarket [Wetherspoons & the National Horse Racing Museum Café come recommended], with one info control to vary the route a bit. A typical early season route, [as is the first 50km of the 200], on gritted B roads, good if sub zero first thing in the morning.
Breakfast at the start and snack food at the finish [soup, sandwiches/rolls, cake, tea, coffee etc] included in the £8 fee.
Helpers still sought please, especially for the start: [you could still ride the event, having been on the desk or in the kitchen beforehand - leave me the washing up and start with the bunch!] Option of a helpers' ride a fortnight before, on 27th February, for either event, or ride a 'Horse for Courses' 200km permanent...
[Please note that if you ride an 'H4C 200 perm' before then, the Snetterton Park Café may still be closed for refurbishment, though you can control at the model shop and get food at East Harling, soon after on the next stage].
