    Rules mention requirement of a pump – am I right in my assumption that a CO2 cartridge or two instead of a pump is within the rules?

    I don't fancy carrying a camelbak 4 100miles either, so going for 1L bottle on bike and carry a spare 500ml in back pocket. With food drops, we only have to carry enough food for each leg (25miles), then can pick up supplies. Tube, multitool and spares carried under seat. Gillet/waterproof/pump/mp3 in jersey pocket. Easy as!

    I know some people only had gas last year. I'm thinking of taking one of these.

    That way I'll be covered if they are strict.

    The longest you'll have too go is from the final food point at 75 miles to the finish at 100 (which was actually 103 last year).

    That took me more than 3 hours last year…

    Anybody know why the last leg is so long without a water stop, seems odd to have very frequent watering holes then have a big gap for 25 miles at the end when you're gonna slow and thirsty.
