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.
Sunshine approaching from the South.

First time in 1,000 years.

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!)

Apr - Turing Tribute

That's the August ride done: The DIY process was really easy to use, and validation was much quicker than I expected.

I didn't plan to do a 300km in my first year - but I couldn't resist the wonderful Elan Valley for my Sep ride.

Jun 2022 - To Burton Latimer for some tiles DIY 200k
Jul 2022 - LEJoG audax 1400k
Aug 2022 - Kenilworth and Draycote Water tiling DIY 200k


I kept the monthly 200k rides going during various covid-related lockdowns by designing covid and audax compliant routes
 -  these obviously weren't validated.  I had particular 'fun' designing a route that stayed within a BoJo (6 miles) of home when we had to stay 'local'.

So I reckon that that is 10 years now having started in September 2012.  The months where audaxes were not being validated appear to have been exactly cancelled out by some random concurrent series that I ended up doing.

I know that I could stop if I wanted to but I accidentally did the Venetian Nights 200k last Saturday and am riding the South Salopian tomorrow   ::-)

CV19 eliminated me from LEL, so had to rethink my ambitions. New target to reach 100 points in year at age 75. On target if I hit 4 x 200km each month. Managed Aug and Sep and having ridden a 200km on 1 Oct, just 3 more for Oct for the magic 100! Just happens I have 4 series running and Sat completed #38. Next target will be #39 on first Dec ride and #40 next June. This RRtY project is becoming an Obsession!
