The highlight was Blacksheeps new 600 Mae Mr Pickwick yn mynd i chwilio am ddreigiau a chwedlau.
Or in English, The Graham Chapman Memorial Ride.
My hardest one yet.

Also the St Germain 1000 from Normandy, great ride, good fun without stupid hilliness.

Congrats all round!

(Andyp - specially pleased to see this month's well-deserved AAAs have been added by the AAA Master.)
(Martin - all the best for Saturday.)

[Aunt Maud]

Well done peeps, I'm afraid mine has gone awry with 2x100 on a day instead of 1x200.

Never mind, I had a different agenda and it all went a bit wobbly in August anyway.

[Doo]

Just mashed up this seasons attempt with a failed DIY in November. I completed the ride, but noted this was on 1 Dec, d'oh!

[Reg.T]

Pedantically, it's when you start the ride that counts, but I'm guessing that was on the 1st too?

Look on the bright side: in failing this season's attempt, you've inadvertently started next season's

[3peaker]

Go for a 10x badge Martin. Well done. Must order my 2nd!

Sat 13 Dec: Crisp and cold, clear o/n meant sharp frost; but a forecast of no wind and clear sky was the invitation to re-check my Audax Permanent Midlands Vale 200 (Ledbury, Malvern, Droitwich, Alcester, Leamington, Fosse to Bourton). To avoid the deep chill, I left at 0900 on Rourkie. Quite a lot of Christmas traffic and some unfriendly (impatient) driving. Tired approaching Alcester where I took 10mins nap. Dusk came at 122km in Leamington, together with a deep chill but my clothing prep was just right.

After finishing, I managed a decent pint at the Cheltenham CTC Motor Club ‘do’.

Moving pace 19.6kph/2000m climbing, for a 12h 24m total. This was a lucky 2nd December 200 to keep RRTY No 22 alive at 3 after RRTY21/6 on 1 Dec.

2.12.14 Vuelta de Tenerife DIY 200

Would be very interested in reading about that in Arrivee Martin

following the actions of someone of This Parish  it will be a very long time before any articles of mine (or my photo) appears in Arrivee, however I am submitting a piece for the next Fairies' mag

FWIW it was ^%&^%&^%*% hard!

[Delph Cyclist]

Go for a 10x badge Martin. Well done. Must order my 2nd!

While you are the only double Ultra RRTY so far Steve, I can't help thinking that a certain somebody could overtake you during 2015.  Of course, he probably won't be registering every single day as an Audax ride, but 445 people know how challenging it is to do a single RRTY, so imagine 28 in one year (it could have been 29 if he'd picked a leap year).

If I was 30 years younger??

I am sure TG will have other thoughts than to register each ride as a gps DIY. Perhaps one of his Team might help or you could arrange a dispensation. It would be any 28 from 30/31 days?
