Hello,
some people might have met me at last years' Millepennines. I am the German with the green Miyata frame equipped with the SandS-couplers (hence my name here). You couldn't chase me away, so I registered in the YACF forum. You will have a hard time getting rid of me. I hope it's okay if I mention our 1200km-Brevet for 2018 here:
ARA Berlin-Brandenburg (Ingo, Klaus and me, Miyataman/Ralf) are organizing our first 1200km brevet this year. It's called "Berlin Wien Berlin" and (suprise!) goes from Berlin to Vienna and back to Berlin. We got the idea from a bike race that was held at the end of the 19th century to the beginning of WW1. It started as a competition between cyclists and horseriders, but after it turned out that most of the horses had to be killed after the competition, they stopped the race and started WW1 instead (to kill more horses AND men)
See the website about our ride, it is in English and German:

If you want to take part: you can sign in after February, 1st, under
http://ara-bb.de/anmeldung/index.html ("Anmeldung" means: registration)
The Brevet is unsupported, but there's food at the start and the finish, and you can store your belongings. The ride is not as hard as millepennines. There are flat passages and even descents, but some nasty climbs too, but not as bad as millepennines.
I hope I didn't bore you too much. Check out the website, if you have any questions, just ask them.
