Wasn't it a 400 with a 200 option?

I'm more than likely in.

Riders are free to ride a 200km on the day, either as a return at the halfway point or just one of the legs (ie. Bristol to London or visa versa).

Obviously those riding a 200 or 400 will gain full AUK points (2 or 4 points) plus challenge points towards their respective club as part of the event (although these have nothing to do with AUK and will be suitably policed by myself and Jonah).

Route is just being finalised but is relatively flat and travels through a Wiltshire and Berkshire.
More details to follow ASAP

Depends on start time. The 8 am start idea suggested in the ACH mails wouldn't work for me
with a couple of hours travel time needed. Plus can't head in night before due to other commitments.

Afternoon start would work. Meeting the other group for dinner and then for breakfast. But that
would be bad for people doing just half the distance, and taking train back from the half-way point.

We've got around ten on the ACH list that have said yes/maybe, including Jonah and myself.

In case you are wondering why this is a "clash of the titans" https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=81254.0

Hackney and ACB aren't the most massive / active clubs but they are the most likely to be riding a fixie and / or wearing Rapha

Currently lying second and first (respectively) in the club points list, so not sure how you reach that conclusion?

My designation for Norton Wheelers isn't showing on the club table. If I were to switch my affiliation to YACF, ACH would be relegated to 3rd.
