The Vale of Belvoir 200k and Charnwood Forest 100k - I am stamping cards at Stonehurst Farm in Mountsorrel.

One of those will most likely be my next audax too - though I can't decide if I'm up for the 200 or not yet. :-\

Rough Diamond 300, it will be the furthest distance I've ever cycled on 1 day  :o

I did that a couple of years ago - its a really good event for a first 300 - rolling but no nasty hills and good controls almost exactly every 75km so that you can get a good feed.

Just bought a 500k perm... (Steve P's 'Spa Tour Combination - I'm shooting for the 300km Cotswold and Thames + the 200km South East Oxford Loop).  Might try it on 1st/2nd July...

eek.

Still, that'll be good prep for the East & West coast 600 at the end of July :)

My next audax should be the Rough Diamond, another of the Black Sheep events that I enjoy so much. It will be only my second 300. After that I am going to have a go at the National 400. Not sure if I am ready for it but there's only one way to find out.

My next audax is a DIY 300 round Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion, introducing a mate to the joys of the diy.

SF Randonneurs Coverdale weekend (300km from San Francisco to Coverdale on Saturday, and 200km back on Sunday). We're cycling the 80km to and from SF too which should turn it into a pretty long weekend (albeit some on Friday evening). It's needed though given I haven't ridden more than a hundred miles since mid May and the Rocky Mountain 1200 is approaching fast.
