Mildehall Rally and 200mile/300km Audax

[MSeries]

After reading HDVs posting about her 300km Audax from the Mildenhall
Rally my mind started racing. I have been thinking about riding to
Cambridge this year to cover 200miles in one ride, why don't I ride to
the Mildenhall Rally ? But if I did this I'd almost certainly wouldn't
want to do the 300K Audax at the event. So do I drive/train to
Mildenhall and ride the Audax or do I ride there, chill for the weekend
maybe do a short ride and ride/rain home ? I don't really want to do my
200miler with my camping gear though, anyone thinking of driving from
Leeds area that can carry my tent/sleeping bag/Thermarest/ weekend kit ?
Perhaps best bet is to train/ride there, do the 300K then train/ride
back ? What would YOU do ?

Train/drive both ways, chill for most of weekend and do short Audax ride
(100km)...

Drive there and do the Audax. Its much easier with other people around
you as part of an event than doing it alone IMO
