I've just registered too. 5:15pm tandem start.

If you're staying in the same hotel either side of the ride they'll be fine with you leaving a bag there - I stayed in an Ibis Budget and when I checked out to leave for PBP I asked to leave a bag while I was gone and they obliged.

In 2019 there was a staffed bag drop at the start/finish with bags tagged by rider number. I imagine it'll be the same this year.

Thanks for replies all, one less thing to worry about.
I've started watching PBP prep vids to get training motivation/panic. These RUSA ones are pretty good:

And will probably watch some of Campyonlyguy's PBP tips series from 2019.
I was set on 74gi which I've been happy with for years, but changed to 72gi recently which has totally messed with my certainty of what to use. Did a 100km ride yesterday with 1500m of climbing and can't imagine doing double that for 4 days (elevation). Was the Chilterns though. Looking forward to my 200 at the end of March to see where I'm at.

Don't get too hung up on the elevation though, 1500m in 100km is hilly enough for Altitude Audax points, (15m/km). PBP is 10m/km, so 1000m for 100km.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
