Not official yet as it has to be ridden in one go first.

Ooh, there's a lot of loops and cross-overs for the unwary ... that'll be me then

It's not too bad Stu, honest

I tend to put little waypoints into the GPX to make sure I don't screw up on those.

Seem to remember the GPS* was provided as two files. Out and Back. There were no loops in them separately.

And me - that's what led to me doing the 2015 BB200 the wrong way round.
The Garburn Pass climb is nicely placed...

Garburn is not that bad.

If you click the button for miles or km, it gets busier, but less confusing!
It would be even less confusing if the map showed Windemere as water with islands, rather than flat ground with Lakes!

I just made a version for myself that has waypoint info at each of the crossovers.
Unrelated, I wonder where might be good for breakfast on the second day.

Last year the final route was sent split in two, one out and one back with the change over at the old dungeon gyll pub. Its a weak excuse for a pint and a pie

There are a lot of pub and cafe options on this route, it's a cracking route - we did most of it earlier this year but it was horrifically wet so really slow going
We only ate breakfast at our bivi spots, and took lots of snacks. We ate in Staveley, Windermere, Elterwater and Satterthwaite but passed a few other places that we could have ate in
It's a great route, harder than I originally thought but my drivetrain was struggling and it was soaking. Amazing scenery
The descent that takes you into Satterthwaite is possibly my favourite ever descent (bottom left on the GPX)
This was the write up from our trip

I guess aiming for somewhere around Hawkshead or Satterthwaite might work for day one. Then either a shorter, or really leisurely day two.
