Shaping up to be another great event with around 400 on the road...but where are all the AUKs? They cannot all be in Wales!
I've lost track of the numbers, but there are indeed a shitload of us riding the TINAT welsh events that weekend. (well, entered, anyway!).
Not really the same audience of course;
welsh mountains (involving a non-trivial commute from London), mainly 300-600k rides, gravel and strong hints about self-sufficiency
vsa day out in Surrey/Sussex from the doorstep of London.
If you're getting 400+, I'd say things have worked out pretty well for you and Blacksheep
