[Camrider]

Having decided I don't really like rides over 200km I thought I would have a go at this instead of an SR series.

In the bag.

March - Up the Uts 200
April - Green & Yellow Fields 300
May - DIY 200

To do

June - Herts High Five  200
July - Garboldisham Groveller 200
August - Rutland Ramble
Sept - DIY 200
Oct - Silly Suffolk 200 or DIY 200
Nov - DIY 200
Dec - DIY 200
Jan - DIY 200
Feb - DIY 200

[L CC]

Rather than 'straight' DIYs over the winter months, you could ECE Norfolk'n'Good's Norfolk Nips and take advantage of their wonderful soup TLC. As well as lovely routes through Norfolk Skog, that is.

[Camrider]

That is worth thinking about if I can come up with workable start and finish points. If not I will try and ride at least one of the Nips rides as a straight forward 100 anyway.

[Fidgetbuzz]

Look at the Brandon / Santon Downham area - for a 50kms away start location - ride to start and then back to car after finish

[3peaker]

I will remember the Jubilee weekend with special affection; my route on Monday was the Perm version of my new Cheltenham Flyer 200.  And, whilst No 6 ride of a current RRTY Series, it also completed No 9 Consecutive RRTY!

[Drone]

I Jubilee weekend ...........completed No 9 Consecutive RRTY!

Snap. I routechecked my Heart of the Shires 200 on Friday. This completed my 9th consecutive RRTY and I publicaly stated that I'm now jumping off the treadmill. If anyone sees me on a 200 next month I give you permission to push me off my bike

[Chris S]

Well done both. So by "ninth consecutive", you mean 9x12 consecutive months?

I'm on 66 months now, and wondering how long I have to keep this up to match the Big Guns in terms of consecutive months (ie: not parallel RRTYs) .

Yep. 108mths consec (9x12=108). And then there are the times when we might have done a series in parallel, running up extra RTTYs. I struck Ultra a couple of years back and am doing at least 2x200 monthly.

COINCIDENCE ALERT
I stopped in a cafe in Tutbury yesterday & got to chatting with a quartet of riders who were route checking The China Run & the discussion included reference to a chap who had just done 108 consecutive 200km monthly rides.

My yacf jersey was recognised the instant I walked in.An extremely pleasant couple of couple's they were too.
If whoever you are are reading this..it was very nice chatting with you
