Many thanks S2L. Your sentiments are exactly why we've put it together.
Sorry we're so far away. Hope you can make it up sometime but maybe the idea will catch on elsewhere .
I think it's a great idea... the SR series is not everyone's cup of tea and not achievable by all. I ticked the box once and have no urge to it again... on the other hand, a Rouleur series is very appealing... shame Caledonia is so far away...
Agree with S2L - a great idea. I've only done 1 SR series too, back in 2014. Thought at the time it would be the first of
many more in the future but I haven't managed one since.
Physically (I think) I'm fit enough, but in recent years I've struggled mentally and haven't had the resilience to ride into and through the night. Both of my attempts at a 400 have been aborted at about 300km (just as it's getting dark) and I'm starting to realise that maybe the longer rides are not for me and I may never do another SR series.
A challenge around shorter distances is a most welcome 'stepping stone', not just for my personal ambition but also for those like S2L and newcomers aiming to step up distance too
