Sadly, very sadly, 7 months into RRTY #3, on January 31st ... I started RRTY #4

When will it ever end?! ... Probably December

24 January — DIY 200 — RRTY #3 month 7
31 January — Horses for Courses 200 perm — RRTY #4 month 1

Now I just need to keep the momentum going to PBP and beyond.

Now if you had left it a day to yesterday 1 Feb, that would have been #3m8. Now you are committed to 2/mth? I can talk; I have 3 on the go at the moment having ridden yesterday as my #21m8.

I was six months into a quad one year. That's a conversation I've never had with Mrs Manotea!

The scary thing is that it wasnt planned, it just sort of happened... sadly, real life interceded and I only scrapped a double...

One month to go!

17 Apr - DIY 200
02 May - DIY 200
21 Jun - DIY 300
13 Jul - Barbury Bash 200
12 Aug - DIY 400 (7.25AAA)
13 Sep - Flatlands 600
04 Oct - AAAnfractuous 200 (3AAA)
01 Nov - Upper Thames 200 + 100 ECE
06 - Dec - Kings, Castles, Priests & Churches 200 (1.75AAA)
03 Jan - Poor Student 200
14 Feb - Dark/White Peak Perm 200 (4.5AAA)

Only The Dean to go. The Perm at the weekend was fantastic, but very hilly and really not ideal for February, especially on studded tyres!! My first full-value Audax, scraped in with 20 mins to spare! If I do that route again, it'll be on summer tyres, without fog (hopefully!) and without getting lost.

Might sneak in a DIY or two and get started on RRTY no. 2 already

I have only been an Audax member for a little over Seventeen months and completed my first RRTY unaware that there was such a thing. After it was pointed out to me I thought it was an excellent way to keep my focus up throughout the year, I’ve now got two on the board and the target is to reach ten within the next twenty four months.
Looks like I’m hooked too.

Wow! This was nearly 12 months ago.
Well 12 months on that two RRTY's in now eight and I've started no.s nine and ten
It's been fun

As of Wednesday 18th Feb my First RRtY is complete and now confirmed on the site.....

Considering it will be September before I really need to make a choice on the second on I have a feeling I might just carry on.

The RRtY has been a massive contributor to keeping my fitness through the winter and boosting my miles in the early new year. Thanks to all those who have ridden with me and given words of encouragement when I've been a bit...meh!

Well done tippers!

I rode a DIY for my February RRTY #3 (four months to go) and have The Horsepower 200 helpers' ride next weekend for my RRTY #4 (just started). I have another three Essex rides after next weekend, plus DIYs (probably) in between (which I can ride mid-week). The rest I will make up as I go.

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #1344 on:** 22 February, 2015, 09:15:17 pm »

Thanks! I'll be over for the Helper Ride (as a Perm as I have a pass for both weekends) so look forward to seeing you then and hope for better weather this time round!

Today's spin out to the Blue Egg Cafe was nice but the grind home into the headwind and bloody cold rain, not so much. I'm very glad we weren't gunning for 200 miles, like somebody we all know. We had to stop for coffee in the last 2 hours, just so we could warm up our hands a bit and feel our fingers again.

#3 is still progressing, albeit solo:

31st Dec - DIY200
31st Jan - DIY200
20th Feb - DIY200

Finally got one in before the last day of the month! So far they have all been solo night rides, am looking forward to The Dean in March & riding with other people

Need to get my ECE entry in for that - hope I don't regret it on the day

Completing this RRTY was not straightforward. On Jan 31 I had a bad fall and got a grade three groin pull,
leaving me a completely inactive wreck for 27 days. Until today. The last few days the pain seems mostly
gone and replaced by mainly lingering stiffness. Had a leftover holiday from last year I had to take out this
quarter. So decided to have a go at a flat and very easy Thursday DIY 200. Roughly an oval shape with Ely,
which has a train station with frequent trains to Cambridge, in the middle. Plus with options to bail and shortcut
home if worse would come to worse. Turned out pretty good. Biggest issue being the hamstring on the bad leg
very stiff after a few hours. So had to stop and stretch several times. 90 minutes or so slower than when fully
well but not bad at all!
