HK and I second the UAF option. We're currently doing the UAF Paris-Nice 1000. Four course lunches and dinners with wine on the table!

I'll be juggling work family and audax for the next 6 years after which CET Junior and CET Junior #2 should be self-sufficient.  So until then it won't be much different from now, a bare minimum SR series plus a Cambrian permanent plus the occasional PBP etc.

Have offered to do catering on LEL 2017, so won't be taking up my offer of a place.

Have a real hankering to do an Easter Arrow but family commitments will probably rule that out.

Would quite like to complete a 2 x Ultrarandonneur - only 9 more SR series to go  :hand:

Would love to do a permanent from Sagres (Cape St Vincent) in Portugal to Vardo in Norway timing it so that I can do the Puy de Dome on one of the Sunday mornings that it is open.

And possibly something involving the Col du Tourmalet for my 60th, after completing the 20xSR.

This year, another matter has taken over my time.
Albeit, I’ve organised a 200, a 100 and a 50, Plus a 100 in October. Only ridden two short events to my recollection in 2015.

Will keep my membership alive to organise events in 2016.

That sounds like my type of future!

And 42° at Col de la République according to Jacques Torgue. I'd like to have been there but I think I'd have flaked out in that.

I do also know that another 24 is in my future.  There are things that gnaw away at me about my mediocre performance that mean I must improve on it. 

This is where I am.   Been mixing my TTs and Audax this year and managed to make a decent improvement to my 12hr PB.    Will be heading to Cheshire next Summer to try to improve my 24hr distance.

I need to get 56 more points for a brevet 25000 & 4 more SR series for an ultra randonneur.  After that I'll probably do a spot of fishing  :o

Dunno until August 20, 12.00hrs. Depending on how the previous 90 hours went, I may not do any Audax ever again, or sign up for the Highlands, West Coast & Glens in 2016.  :facepalm:

Heal up from off, get back on the bike and then get some kilometers on my wheels. I would like to get some more 200+ rides in over the next couple of years, fitting them in with a busy family life. I would love to do LEL at some point- 2017 may be too soon but as I am only 37 that is probably not an issue (unless I have another big off!). Apart from that I have a group of friends that want to LEJOG at some point and I would love to have the time to do it!

Up the Swanee.

That reminds me of a 200 DIY I did from work in Coventry, to Cannock, Shrewsbury, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and finishing at Home.
I called it ‘Round the Wrekin’.
Started at 11:00 and finished at midnight on a short day Friday.

Only 25 degrees at the top but a furnace lower down. The next day was another scorcher with several folk riding to a stop just before heatstroke. We arrived in Nice this afternoon and I think the name oversells the place a bit. Some glorious countryside to ride through though.

Did that on the Mille Miglia at Pomonte.  The 3am start the next day was tough!
