2010 ultra events

[Bianchi Boy]

I have entered LEL this year and was wondering what events over 1000km will be held in 2010. I have heard about Miglia Italia, PBP and BMB. Is there a list of a link to such events? I am considering entering one of these events next year. I fancy doing some riding in Europe for a change.

I'm very pleased to hear Miglia Italia is running next year. I hope I'll be up for it!

[Andy Corless]

John Hamilton plans to run a 1000km event around the third week of July, and there shouldbe a 1500km ride in Germany (HBKH) around August time. I've also heard that Audax Australia intend to run the PAP 1200 (Perth-Albany-Perth) in October 2010.

In that case mine's a Kasseler Rippchen mit Sauerkraut.

I would have requested Scheineschnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln but I do like to vary my diet.

[Sabine]

 
Looking forward to seeing you there,and making sure you are eating enough !!!!

[LEL]

For info, I have asked for as many  1000k + events as possible to be advertised / promoted at the start of LEL.

All of the above should have some form of info there.

[Bianchi Boy]

Thanks for all the info. I will try to pick up some details at the start of LEL. I was hoping that there would be some web links. Nothing like sitting down after a long days ride and loking at the next.

[Sabine]

Hi
have just spoken to heino the organizer and he said he will let me have all the info as soon as possible as they just sorting the last details out.
As soon as i have them i will post them.

[DanialW]

Thanks Sabine! This is v. much on my to do list.

Better restart my german lessons!

Some info from Heino:
14. to 19. August 2010
There will also be a 1200km option.
The maximum time corresponds to a speed of 12
km/hr
Start and finish will most probably be in
Grosshansdorf by Hamburg.

1.500 km Deutschland
3rd Super Brevet „Hamburg-Berlin-Köln-Hamburg“
All long-distance cyclists should mark the date in their calendars and get started on their training because in Aug. 2010 we are rolling:
we have started preparations for the 3rd German Super-Brevet.
The tour takes its course in a southeasterly direction until just before Berlin (Nauen), then heading southwest. Board and lodging is
planned at control point Quedlinburg (km450)
Half way through the tour, the road leads through the Harz, the Weser-Leine
and the Sauerland mountain ranges providing abundant changes in altitude.
Turning points are Brilon (km 750) and Rösrath (shortly before Cologne, km
950). During this stretch a minimum of one overnight stay is advisable.
From Rösrath onwards the general route goes in a northeast. 100 km of low
mountain range are to be crossed before the land flattens again between Werl
and Soest. Here along the way we are planning the second main control
point.
On the way back to Grosshansdorf all we need to do is pass the Teuteburger
Forest and cross the Elbe- and we have made it!
We will organise a luggage transport to the two main control points (roughly
at km 450 and km 1100). Everything else must be taken along on the bike.
Note: Such a tour is very different from the Tour of France for instance. No
one will assist you in changing your wheel or hand you bottled water. Plus it
is your own responsibility to find the right direction in which to go.
However, we do not compete against one another but cycle with one another.
And everyone can say at the end: Victory- I’m a winner!

I like the sound of that event. But my long one for next year may be this The OFF ROAD Land's End to John O'Groats - CTC Maps

I hope  CK Distans are riding Sverigetempot again in 2010.
2100 km from northern Sweden to southern Sweden in  maximum 216 hours.

[megajoules expenditure]

Sounds a great ride.

When would dates/route etc be known?

Thanks

mid July, this year they are riding as I write 11/7-20/7, that means you don't need light on your bike for the first couple of days, even with night riding. 

[megajoules expenditure]

Will it be open to anyone to enter or is it mainly limited to CK Distans riders?

Thanks

Any other Scottish riders interested in doing HBKH? I'm thinking that I could get 3 or 4 people/bikes in/on my car, take the Rosyth or the Newcastle ferry and drive to Hamburg. I know it's still a long time away but it'd be good to have it in my mind as something to aim for.

Not really a central website. Dutch Audaxing is incorperated into the general cycletouring scene, wo
   Nederlandse Toer Fiets Unie
gives some info. More detailed info is available on various club websites. The organizing club is TC Swolland, A Toerclub Swolland Zwolle
Two brevetseries, including mine, are organised by ERN, Welkom bij ERN.

Sure about BMB?   The official site says it won't happen in 2010 and there's no mention I could find in a quick search of randon...
