where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Inspirational stuff, especially the long and determined recovery from the injury.
Real flu is a big setback as well.
Congrats Mr Blacksheep!

I know. However, I DNS-ed because I'm drowning under work and that ain't going to change until Easter at the earliest >:(.

Sort of accidently managed to get quite far into this in my first year of audax - didn't really start out intending to (when I started in October, I thought that I might give a 300 a go some time this year, managed a couple of 300s already, in for 400 and 600 and thinking about that ride in France.)

October 2010 - Anfractuous 200
November 2010 - Poor Student 200 as a perm
December 2010 - South Bucks Winter Warmer 200
January 2011 - Poor Student 200 and Willy Warmer 200
February 2011 - Redhill Beach Trip 200 and Kennet Valley Run 200
March 2011 - Chiltern Hills Brevet 200, Ditchling Devil 200 perm and The Dean 300
April 2011 - The Elenith 300

So 7 months done - can't stop now - sadly will stop the doublt RRtY going on currently - few weeks of non-audax riding now for me - taking half a dozen very enthusiastic mates (who are all planning various charity rides etc. this year) around the Surrey Hills this weekend, visit my folks in the Peak District for Easter - so aim to get out for the day with the other half.

Then nothing for a couple of weeks as I am away, until my first 400 (Hailsham 400), need to do something end of May and then my first 600 is the Seething on 11th June.  If this French ride becomes a possibility, I think I will attempt an earlier 600 - looking at the Beast From the East.
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

;D  :smug:  :thumbsup:

EDIT - having just looked at the list again it reminds me how tough the winter rides can be. December - Feb solo perms are indeed a test.

I seem to be 6 months into number 2, but Mrs H might have something to say about that, my passes out maybe restricted somewhat after PBP.

Nov - ANORAKS DELIGHT 200 PERM
Dec - Denmead - Newbury 200 perm
Jan - Poor Student 200
Feb - ANORAKS DELIGHT 200 PERM

..and a  fantastic day it was yesterday, my first all-daylight Audax for some months, just finishing in the last light of the day.  It makes such a big difference not to spend the last few hours picking my way around potholes in the dark.  Some lovely views from the South Downs and Porton Down on a sunny day in Feb.  I definitely got very lucky with the weather.

That must've taken some serious effort.

Is there a gap in the market for a nicotine patch type thing that saps your addiction to cycling? 31 discrete patches to keep you off the bike for an entire month and break the addiction?

Although I am having problems getting AUK to show 3 Oz 200's on my record for last Nov and Dec - I think that Mike has recognised the Oz homologation numbers - so that will complete numbers 6 and 7.
Now locked into 8 and 9 - but family commitments make May difficult - still Asp and Straws count for 1 - and just need to sort 1 more.

What a way to complete No 8 RRTY (Consecutive) 8) . It was not until the final 3hrs of the Offa's Dyke 600 that I could look forward to this magic moment, for, all day I had been chasing the back Control times.  The Horseshoe Pass comes with over 400km in the legs, then we found every hill available to Prestatyn and back over another set of hills to the Northern foot of the Horseshoe Pass.  So, a final arrival at Llangollen meant the A5 with a few variations was all that was left.

And the Offa also gave me a full RRTY set of Gospel Pass climbs. :smug:
