Yes, but like a good BBer he has been known to frolic in the Autumn mist....
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

So the 200 route and 300 look similar - will we be able to decide when we get there?

For about the first 90km. Significantly different after that and it doesn't look like the last few tens of km are the same so unlikely to be stacked loops.

Quite the opposite. I have considered looking at my bike though.

Currently in 5 pieces.
