400k - 18th June 2010

Starting from a pub on the Blackdown Hills near Taunton at 10:30pm this event rides through the night to dawn somewhere in Somerset. Then across the Severn Bridge and back home again

The route passes Glastonbury Tor at dawn in midsummer

Some highlights are: descending from Wheddon Cross at night, the Bristol-Bath cyclepath and crossing the Severn Bridge

Includes the internationally recognised BRM certification, which will be useful if you are planning to enter Paris-Brest-Paris Randonee in 2011.  Also like PBP this event has a  10:30pm start and a ride through the night for the first few sections

Although this a long way to ride it isn't a race.  The challenge is to complete the course in less than 27 hours.
