If it’s where I think you found it *be aware* this is a draft route for consultation and the formal route *will* vary from this (I have a number of alterations already and I *guarantee* that nobody outside my laptop has the formal route yet...) ;)

Unless, of course, there are any keen off road cyclists in the CIA, MI6 or similar organisations! :lol:

I have pre-ordered the route guide but its not clear if the GPX file will be included with that or its going to be published on the same day?
I emailed to ask if there was a release date planned as I want to ride it over a long weekend at the end of August and I need to take the time off work. Anyone dug up any intel that might help me out?
Thanks

Yes, it launches later this month.

This has been the culmination of several years work, and I can assure you - it’s going to be a cracker.

The guidebook is with the printers at the moment (I was reading the final proof of it just earlier :D )

Guide will launch with the GPX near the end of the month... but without giving anything away, If you want to get the *best* out of this you will want the paper guide.
