Beginning to get excited for the Plains 300 in a few weeks. Nothing like gathering in a car park at 2300 o’clock to ride to a fast food restaurant in Wales and back.

Here’s a video of the event from a few years ago when I rode it in 2015 (RIP Damon I miss you):

May have to break out the tangerine gilet again LOL (I’m riding on the left at the opening of the video with the retroreflective mudguards and the red helmet light)

This was a good ride but I think I’ll be riding a less aggressive bike for my next event (an overnight 300)!

Here’s a nice picture of a typical HQ at the arrivée and a famous fellow rider and also his more traditional bicycle as pictured at the start.

Route and instructions received, hoping my cold and the weather forecast improve for a week tomorrow! Going to ride this one on a lighter bike this year with less stuff. As we are in a pre-qualification year for Paris-Brest-Paris it is being run as a BRM so we need to present a physical brevet card at the finish (BRM rules rather than BR don’t get me started) even if we don’t have to fill it in because we’ve used eBrevet (which I use despite missing the ritual of receipts and/or stamps). ACP like to keep things old school.

Just entered my first Audax UK Brevet of the year, seems like an impossible task at the moment given everything in my life but if I don’t enter definitely it won’t be possible!

One of the nice things about Audax UK events is if you enter and don’t start you don’t lose too much money and the organiser gets a little donation.
