42 for me so far this year, aiming for 52@52
Doing a 300 DIY saturday around Pembroke with a DIY newbie, still waiting for my 400, hopefully august, and another 2x200's will see me sorted
I've thoroughly enjoyed this audax season more than any other, might it be because I've ridden more audax km's than any other year?

Currently on 49 and looking forward to The Buzzard this weekend to take my points total above my age (52 but I don't look a day over 51 & 11 mths).

Well done Whitedown Man (in advance of the weekend) on your 50@50 . I 'm needing another 13 for my X@X target for this year. I've got a lot on at the mo' but I'll get there.

40 points for the AUK year is done already and a 1000 is still scheduled for august. I'm still waiting for the may and june BRM lists to appear so I can have all my event results entered in the AUK system.

Job done with the Mendip Transmitter ECE

I'm lagging behind somewhat. Assuming the 200km Perm I rode yesterday is validated, I'll have 25 points. I'm ECE'ing the Raglan Castle 200km to a 300km on Saturday. I'm on holiday towards the end of September, which means that providing I get the 3 for Raglan, I'll then have 2 months left to get the remaining 12 points. Easy for some, I know, but I haven't progressed beyond 300's yet.

I've failed in my usual attempt to gain an SR with the minimum number of points.

ebbson · « **Reply #81 on:** 19 July, 2016, 04:45:37 pm »

Sitting on 28 at the moment. DNFing Mille Pennines has severely dented progress towards 40 @ 40.
3 Coasts. Cogidubnus. Old Roads & Drove Roads should get me a little closer.
50 points would be nice...might have left it a little late this year.

tippers_kiwi · « **Reply #82 on:** 19 July, 2016, 04:58:52 pm »

I'm on 35.

Huggy's 200 and a Flatlands in September planned should see me over the line. If the 600 fails for any reason....ah well, it's bee a cracking year anyway!

LittleWheelsandBig · « **Reply #83 on:** 19 July, 2016, 05:00:26 pm »

25 official points currently with a 400km Fleche Velocio to be added by the end of the year. If things go to plan, I'll have 40 points early in September with nearly a month clear to possibly round that up to 50 points. That won't include 2000+km of UAF brevets, of course.

vorsprung · « **Reply #84 on:** 19 July, 2016, 05:02:01 pm »

I did have 50 points for being 50 years young planned

But a Mille Pennines DNF has left me on 28 points and in a bit of a ICBA for aiming for the lower total of 40

I've got the SR for this year and so a Ultra Randonneur thing so I've "achieved". Another 12 points just because? Can't get enthused

tonyh · « **Reply #85 on:** 19 July, 2016, 05:46:42 pm »

Well... I might have gone for 12, but not for the 33 I need. A pity.

Whitedown Man · « **Reply #86 on:** 19 July, 2016, 06:27:38 pm »

49 on the board, with another 6 for The Buzzard in the post.

With Flatlands and 3 X 200 in the diary in Aug & Sept that will be 67, and if I hadn't been too dozy / lazy to claim for a further 3 completed 200 DIYs back in Oct & Nov it would have been 73. Leaves me wondering whether, if I really went for it one year, I could bag a Randonneur 10000. It's probably just beyond my grasp, but tantalising nonetheless.

arup · « **Reply #87 on:** 20 July, 2016, 12:05:10 pm »

I've got 29 points so far and once the Buzzard has validated it'll be 35. Raglan Castle this weekend (unless this sniffle turns into something) then Cogidubnus in August would make it 39. Seems like I'm pretty close.

The trouble is that then, to get it exactly right, you have to achieve just one extra point.

Risking going hyper?

Little Miss Trykit looks like she's on your schedule as was ShelaghT last year - she did an additional 600 for a 300 for her three wheeled SR. Perhaps a 15 point trike SR is on the cards?

To get the special badges for this year do I need to request them ?

Thanks

AFAICR, the 40th anniversary Randonneur badges are available for purchase now, while the 40@40 and SR badges will be produced once we know how many people have qualified, then sent out automagically by the membership elves^*.

* By whom of course I mean some of Mike Wigley's sterling team of volunteers.

30 I believe.
I'm going for the 30@30 sideshow.

Nah. Just a few superfluous 200s. Year off this year. Probably.

Thanks thats what I thought but wanted to make sure I was thinking along the right lines.

Just to clarify. They're sent out to those who qualified - for free & without having to request them ?

That is my understanding.

I have been known to be wrong, but no doubt that will become apparent ...

(You won't, though, see them any time before the end of the season, as they'll be ordered once we know how many are needed.)

Please put me down as not needing one. Mileater and memory banks are both happy so for me mission accomplished.
