The route
We will meet in Portsmouth on Wednesday 25th September at 18:00 to take the Brittany Ferries crossing to Saint Malo, arriving at 08:30 the following morning, when the Challenge begins. You may be a bit tight on space if you're taking a car with a bike rack; we recommend using or hiring a van to fit all of your team, bikes and gear.
