@AlexD It's roughly an hour from the Fishponds Fish statue by Morrisons up to the Hope and Anchor in Midford. If you then want to loop down through Monkton Coombe to the canal path and back to Bath that will add on a bit of time, as the footpath is fairly narrow and a bumpy surface. So if you are short on time I'd recommend just doing Midford and back the way you came.

I agree with Samuli that it's important to talk openly about the spirit of the race, so that we're not just looking at the rules to determine what's allowed. Mike's video on youtube
is really clear about wanting to avoid a situation where every possible scenario has to be covered by a great big rule book. -
That's what I was remembering, thanks. Looks like he (cap #214) got a 15.25 hour penalty.

Yeah, I saw that was the case for people who didn't climb the entire route. What I was unsure about was any ruling on keeping the bike fully loaded at all times, or whether people who had left kit at the bottom but completed the route had been penalised. Sounds from Frank and Hippy that it was clearly prohibited to do so, but not necessarily penalised in this instance.

I have a vague memory that somebody last year left all their kit at the bottom on the CP4 parcour, did the climb up and down, and then picked up the kit afterwards and carried on. Was there ever any fallout from this? Legit move?
-
I'm sure that I'm not. Just a bit gullible I guess.

Did Planet X just email this to their entire database? Fail? Or is it some sort of weird marketing attempt?

The race was previously capped at 90 riders, but they've just announced an additional 60 places which are immediately available for registration.
Changing return dates on the Hook of Holland to Harwich ferry was a breeze. Phew.
Is there any sort of finishers party on the cut-off day, or are people just heading off when you finish?
