Randonneur 10,000 2017 ✔️✔️

[bikey-mikey]

I am happy to report that I've achieved this one again (subject to processing/validation of recent events)

Come on folks - come and join me

[Whitedown Man]

Working on it ... might take me a whole year though, not just 5 months 

Congrats

[Clemo]

I'm trying.....

Well ridden Mikey! And 98 of those 100 in less than four months.

(I'm only 100 points behind, you'd better watch out.)

Very glad there's lots of riders racking up lots of rides.

Well done Mikey!

What Super Randonnee did you ride ?

[LittleWheelsandBig]

Mikey is talking about the AUK R10000, not the ACP R10000, so no SR600 required.

[GPS]

Ah - ok thanks  ... 

I've got my eye on the ACP version & SR600's aren't that easy to come by in the South West - hence my question.

[LittleWheelsandBig]

HK and I have just been missing the SR600 for the last couple of years. We'll perhaps do a French one later this year.

Glad you are enjoying your year to date BM.

  Well Done Mikey!

I tried to put a list of rides together to see what it would take to get to 100 points before the start of the year. I was past saturation point on a 'taking the piss' with her indoors when I finished and I think I was only at 64 points 

[Bairn Again]

Very impressive.  That's 2-3 events a week for the 5 months from start Oct - end Feb  .

 
My points target for the year is a more modest 75 of which Ive completed 14, though with longer days coming up I reckon the addition of events over 200km (+ day/night 200s) will see the scoreboard start to tick over a bit faster.

Well done!

masterplan for this
find a job that pays 25% more than the current one
reduce to working 4 days a week
have an audax say that looks like a work day every week.

yes....I must start buying lottery tickets!

I can't imagine a more tedious way to burn such vast tracts of spare time, but hey - each to their own. Nice work, BM  .

[hillbilly]

Does Mrs Bikey still remember what you look like?

[mattc]

If he's got time to figure out putting ticks ✔️✔️ in the topic title,
then he's got time to get some more miles in.

Well done Mikey - it was a pleasure to join you for a catch up and a few k's on Saturday   out of interest, how many k's has your current bike done?  Must be getting on for 100,000 by now?

[Slimline Saxon]

Good work Mikey. I now know what it feels like to be back on the bike doing Audax rides after a life changing incident, and can imagine your sense of achievement which encourages you to keep going.

I hope to also aspire to great things in my own way.

That's a good question, Pete..  I shall try to approximate based on when I got the bike, and use a date filter search on Garmin Connect. Reckon your guesstimate is a good shot...

Thanks B-S. Spot on, I'd say 👍

Wishing you luck, and oodles of that 'sense of achievement' as well.  How much and how far doesn't matter, as long as you feel good about it. ✔️✔️✔️

Show-off! 

Well done Mike.

[Ian H]

All my events are BRM (except the one that isn't cos it's only little).

[bikey-mikey]

I've never really understood ACP awards, but IF it just means I would need a BRM 600, I've done oodles, though not this year, yet...

[LittleWheelsandBig]

No, a Super Randonnee 600, which is a different beastie to a BRM 600.

[Ian H]

No, a Super Randonnee 600, which is a different beastie to a BRM 600.

Oh yes.  I haven't done one of those.  Might be difficult to organise in the UK (without a very silly convoluted route).
