Is that your Ultra RRtY then?

[Revolution9]

Is that your Ultra RRtY then?

No, 6 months to go

Ultra SR though

Completed my 5th Rrty series on Sunday with a DIY from Knaresborough back home, with a few zig zags to get up to 200k distance.  An easy start and set off early before the heat built up.  By lunchtime hotter and hillier and despite drinking nearly five litres I was getting dehydrated by the end.

All my rides in this series have been 200k DIYs, my participation in calendar events has been limited this year.  Some from home, a couple of one way trips from campervan weekends, one in SW Scotland as part of another weekend away and some using a regular route in North Yorkshire.

I might have a break from Rrty - the autumn / winter rides are obviously harder than ones on long summer days and the prospect of keeping going through another winter doesn't appeal.

1st of month always provides the 1st opportunity to crack on with RRtY. So I was awheel last Monday as last training before LEL. Couple +ves. Ride keeps RRtY flowing continuous since Jun 2003; this one completed Series  No 37.
Third +ve was a CV19 hit, so laid low late July and opted to miss Volunteer duties at LEL HQ. Hopefully clear for LEL.

Plans for #7... erm... will see how things pan out

May - Hellfire Corner
June - Snow Roads
July - Perm version of my Roamin in the Gloamin event for next year (would be 3.75 AAA but I did advisory route...)
August - North Coast Classic 600 Perm (pending validation)

I feel like I might just have to keep it up another winter.

Half way through my first RRtY - Aug will be a DIY, but I'm waiting for it to cool down a bit. I'm actually looking forward to the winter - provided it isn't icy, I love riding at night, I much prefer cooler weather, and I quite enjoy riding in the rain (I have a cape for biblical rain!)

Feb - Boat Ride
Mar - Cheltenham flyer
Apr - Turing Tribute
May - Tour de Ricky
Jun - Drovers roads
July - Up the Downs
