YD200 Route

[dlovett]

Hey there,

Can any locals comment on if there are any technical or bits to watch out for on this years YD200 course please. I've followed it on sat images and contour lines and I can't see anything too scary.

You ever considered just bringing a half decent bike?

Ha Ha, not everybody has a training bike, an indoor roller bike, a bike packing bike or racing bike like you!!

I'm still amazed at how good the Camino is off road. Even on big things like the yd300 it was almost as comfy as the Jones clad Vir Fortis.

Psh... not everyone, but compared to most of the people here I'm virtually bikeless!

Glad I checked the route - that's a fair bit different to his original route when I entered. A lot less climbing tho!
Bob Wightman / Whitestone is your man for trail notes

Currently on the South Brittany Coast sheltering from an Atlantic "breeze" behind a German WW2 gun emplacement supping a beer given to me by a German camper. So you'll have to wait

The route has been changed in a few places, any thoughts on the new one?

Looks OK with a few good descents. Lots of loops to confuse though. Check out the thread on the 'Anyone out playing' forum for more info
