None of the routes have been made public have they ? Though the area can be hilly in parts as anyone who's done the Bury '20' will know I doubt it'll be too hard.

Yeah, I guess I've done enough 'proper hilly' sportives that this will seem ok. If it rains however, I will be officially moody for the whole 4 days

GF, not yet 500 is double my (and your!) weekly mileage. I could well be wrong, but I think I could do it with enough chocolate biscuits en route... |
