I hope you have a great two days on this epic, Paul. Unfortunately, the rides look a bit beyond the limits of what I personally would find enjoyable, and they also clash with things such as the track championships. However, I'm mulling over ways of linking up with you briefly on one or both rides or, failing that, popping up somewhere to offer moral support. I'll keep you posted.

I think I'll ride out the same route as you on Sat but will leave earlier, go a lot slower and aim to get the last train back from Aberystwyth at 19:29 making it a much more reasonable distance!

Always wanted to ride to out there. Hopefully see you at some point as you pass me :)

It's pretty lumpy so i would have thought 15-16 mph average.
