Well done hyper ones. I may be joining you depending on how much I can be arsed to do a 600 in late September.

Come on the Middle Road.
Or maybe we can do a 600 the weekend before so I get a warm up.

Depends on which bit of the Middle Road - I'm more up for something that avoids flat lands of Lincolnshire etc. For example, I'm was toying with an out and back to either Hay on Wye or Tiverton from home in Surrey. Will all depend on how I feel when I get to the other side of a Pyrenean Raid next week.
Hay on Wye sounds good. Tiverton too, if we can avoid the busy roads.
Assuming we both start from home, where shall we meet up? I'm not sure where abouts in Surrey you are. But how about Membury services?
And which weekend in September?

Forgive my niavitay, but I do wonder how often more than 4 calendar 600s have been ridden in a season.

Forgive my niavitay, but I do wonder how often more than 4 calendar 600s have been ridden in a season.
I only mentioned it as a statistical oddity. (I think there was only 1x4 last year.)
I'd think DIY 600s are harder than calendar. After all I had company for much of most of my calendar 600s and have never yet dared try a DIY 600.
(As for hardness, it's probably personality-dependent. The Norfolk 600 that TG took us on in 2008(?) was by far my easiest, and some people do loops from home and love the independence/solitude. But there is probably a really easy calendar 600 that I haven't done yet - possibly also rather dull!)

frankly frankie will be along in a minute but ASTR that in the '90s Robert Fry and one or two others rode 5 x 600 or 6 x 600 on successive weekends.
Seven riders gained their Super-Randonneur by riding four 600s, with Graham Moult and Robert Fry riding six on consecutive weekends.
Not all DIYs are equal though; group DIYs are, more often than not, much 'easier' than solo DIYs. Having company/contact makes a huge difference, even if sporadic and just at controls such as riding the majority of a calendar 600 on your own.
Two of the four are validated. Two more to go. :)

I don't know which of you did the Denmead ...
I'm counting the MC 1000 but
I'll achieve mattc's contrived goal of 4xcal 600.
Next question: what's the term for 10xhyper?
Denmead 600 cards are with ACP I'm told so I'll achieve mattc's contrived goal of 4xcal 600.I knew you had it in you! ;)

In other words, Simon's hyper claim, not Proven :P

oooh yes - I seem to be hyper as well. I did my 6th 600+ of the season last weekend and that's definitely the last. Probably.
Last weekends ride made me hyper also and my 4th SR this year ;D :thumbsup:
just realisedY L G, that is indeed A Great Achievement. Must be worthy of a badge to sew on your Carradice. :)
me too

I see surfing the AUK results that Matt T and Ben T are both listed, first ones this year. Congratulations to you both.
I'm vaguely jealous and think I might like to add my name to the list. 2 600s so far. Does the French 1200 count? The YACF 600 may be required.
You'll have to ride 600k in the upcoming 24. Now there's a challenge for you!Don't think I'll quite manage that Mr B, but just for you I'll give it my best shot ;). Anyway, the YACF 600 was very enjoyable last year, particularly the pub meal near Howden.
I am on track however for my goal of an all-england AAA-SR. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nope - not ruined. "Just" four 600s or better in a season regardless of what else you do.
Is "hyper" 4 600s in an AUK year, or is it the most recent SR of the current AUK seasonno its any 4, no matter when, I did a200 between mine
consisting of 4 600s? I.e. do one need to do four straight 600 km BR's with no other BRs
in between any of the 600's to be hyper?
E.g. if I do a 600 in Nov, a 200 in Dec, a 600 in Jan, a 600 in Feb and a 600 in Mar, is that
a hyper, or does the 200 in Dec ruin the hyper-ness?
Hmm, would an ECE'd (sub 600) calendar count for Hyper purposes?
I'll be riding down to Bethersden for the Fairies 300 for a 500km outing. I guess I could find another 100km from somewhere.
The argument against is that I wouldn't be committed to a 600km 'all or nothing' outing. Then again, 600km is 600km. One for greater minds than mine.
It's a fast 300, and very fixed friendly. With the 2AM Sunday morning start you could do all the extra distance (minus the ride home) up front.
Front-loading a (300km or longer) calendar event can be a good way of guaranteeing a quiet day on your own.There is nothing more annoying then missing the start of the calendar event having ECE'd the ride out, though reaching the arrivee rediculously early because you were 'feeling strong' i.e., had a tailwind, and then discovered you had misread the starting time, comes a close second.

I trust that an individuak DIY 600 counts? (I hope so)
I am a bit new to this idea of getting Hyper and I see Salvatoire did not post . Not been too Hyper this year as did no 600,s
So what is it called if one dose 4 really long ones. Mega Mad?
Should I do another 600 to go double-hyper ? ? ? ?
;D ;D ;D
Just saw this thread :)
This season.........
- Brevet Cymru 400 + ECE 200
- Bryan Chapman Memorial 600

- Brimstone 600
- To Holl and Back 600
- Buzzard 600
- LEL 1400
The hyper is all validated
(Buzzard & LEL await

Pending confirmation of PBP, I'm there again.
Well done Ian, all on fixed?
Didn't know it was a thing, I'm a bit slow in many ways, but v happy to know: WCW, BUZZARD, HELLFIRE, PBP
Thanks Jonah, That other crazy little thing you did is on the radar for next year if I can pluck up the bottle, along with eating midges in the Highlands. Hoping I'll be able to feel all my toes again by then.
Ok I'll play - 1st season
600k plus were
Kernow
Brian Chapman
Dragons
PBP
Hellfire - solo - if I can find Shawn to validate it :)

Subject to my DIY 600 from the weekend being validated, together with Pendle, WCW & PBP I'm feeling pretty hyper as well. I think this makes more sense as a proper award over the proposed 15,000 and 20,000 though.
Do you want to borrow my unicycle for next time ?
First woman, not sure about the lads
I blame Jim Hopper.
First woman, not sure about the lads
I don't think you're the first.
There have been plenty of women that are "not sure about the lads".On three wheels I am the first as there are only two women who've ever done a SR on solo trike, myself and Fliss Beard. Fliss didn't have the rides available to go hyper.
For the record I was the first women to go hyper back in 2006 when Frances notice that a small group of us had ridden more than one 1000km plus event in the same year. My first hyper was 1 x 600, 2 x 1000 and 1 x 1200. I don't think any other women except for myself have gone hyper since (I can't think of any) only a few each year reach SR status and even fewer go on to complete R5000 and R25000.
Doesn't everyone?
;D
On a serious note - well done. Damn sight more than I managed this year.

Does a 400 extended by a 200 ECE count as a 600 in this case ?
Just an observation. The hyper SR isn't an official thing. FC just noticed that some of us had ridden 4 x 600 plus in a season, described this as a hyper SR and published a list. That was in 2006.Seconded :thumbsup:
Given that going hyper from this thread seems to be a very valued achievement perhaps it's time that it was made an official AUK award with a decent shiny badge. It's something I'd be more than happy to support as its a 'doable' award plus supports the 600km events which has to be a good think for a long distance cycling club.

FTR, there have been a few other Awesome Ladies out there over the years, recording hypers - Vicki Brown, Heather Swift and Gabrielle Patzner were three I could find. That said, it's a pretty select group - and there SO should be a shiny badge for it!

100% (though it would have to be a BR hyper!).
A hyper deserves a tattoo I reckon! :)Is that reward or pennance??

In 2016 I've done 6 x 600...
....though currently only four show on the results page, cos the Exe-Buzzard, from a few weeks ago, is not dead and buried (i.e. it's NOT properly an ex-buzzard) but rather still soaring in the clouds, and I've not even finished washing my kit from the 3 Coasts, so I'd hardly expect that to be up just yet !!
Congrats to Andy Curran on his 'much more than a bit hyper', too :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
and of course to Lindsay :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

DIY 600 / DIY 600 / London-Edinburgh-London 1400 ( + ECE 200 :o) / Flatlands 600:o NICE!
My first Hyper and all fixed gear 8)
And with one of the DIYs being a Welsh hill-fest with 8 1/4 AAAs, I really feel like I earned this one!!

Just asking for a friend.

Indeed it does. Welcome to the club.
Done 3x600 and a 1200 this year, before PBP. I assume there’s still no hyper badge to buy?
It is the first anniversary of my AUK membership. Inspired by Bikeabilityman I have done 4x600 and the pbp, though one of 600s was last September so does not count. I am about to hibernate until the spring.You’re not allowed to hibernate. There’s RRtY and ACME winter series badges to aim for! I’ve done at least a 200 a month since I joined. Don’t let Team MK down!

2 x 600s, plus PBP. Not sure if I want to go for it this time around. :-\
There are two more calendar 600's before the end of the season.

Not this side of the pond there isn't. Slugbait would have to ECE a 200 to make it work.
There are 2 200's still on the calendar over here that could be ECE'd.

Curious why those 600's are (AUK only) BR and not BRM. Blackpool-Glasglow-Blackpool was a BRM in 2017 (don't know about 2018).

Didn't realise that list was still there !
I assume I (along with several others) will be added once the PBP results are in ... nice to know it's still a thing.
I'm not sure it is still a list anywhere, but its still a goal I've not achieved I had 2 x 600 and 1 x 1200 this year, which is not unusual for a PBP year - the problem with a PBP year is that the 600s tend to be shifted to the qualification period, whereas next year they are nicely spread out
I did 3x600s in 3 weeks in qualifying, then failed on the lands end 1000, due to incompetence and needing time for sleep, then failed PBP due to mechanical. Sad times. Maybe next year. (this season)Didn't realise that list was still there !
