Hi - have only done a couple of 200km that Mark Rigby organises, always start and finish in Tewkesbury.
Did this 100km in sept last year - think it was The Teddy Bear's Picnic -

?privacy_code=ug6aHQQFAWpq6sP5There are quite a few perms around the Worcester and Malvern area too that I have yet to really research but are on the database on the audax uk website.
Tbh - currently looking through the Lost Lanes Wales and Borders book and seeing if any of those routes could be turned into a 100k DIY as I tried a 200k last weekend and had to bail due to bad knee/fitness/awful weather/foul mood after crap breakfast at first control in Bromsgrove. Lost Lanes Midlands is going to be out later this year too I think.

Catching up on this thread - I’m now based near Tewkesbury, and Marks audaxes are really well run.
You can train it to Gt Malvern direct from Paddington on Great Western. Plenty of campsites round here or Id be happy give up the spare room to a forumenger who needs it.
Easy ride to Tewkesbury from Malvern - probably 45mins at an easy pace and all downhill. The place I’ll be renting from next month will be even closer to Tewkesbury too.
I’ve got a 200k on Saturday - first one since before covid so looking forward to it now I’ve got a few 100k rides under my belt over the last month.
