Wishing you the positive sort of nervousness...

[caerau]

Certainly got this DIY by GPS perm down better than me

[Tomsk]

This'll be my 2nd fixed RRTY, if all goes to plan....other attempts have come unstuck, but usually in Jan/Feb, so fingers crossed! Harder than 10 SRs for my Ultra-Randonneur, in my opinion - if the weather doesn't intervene, then real life does.

Right!  Let's have another go at this RRTY thing (only managed one so far )

March: Roses to Wrags 200k
April: Easter Arrow 400k
May: 2 x DIY 200k
June: DIY 200k
July: Skeggy 300 perm STV
August:

[Andrew Br]

That reminds me that I need to post off the card and receipts for the Eureka perm that I did last month.
If it's validated I'll be 8 months into my 2nd RRTY.
I said, after the last one, that I wouldn't be repeating it 

This time I've completed:

Dec: Winter Solstice
Jan: Mere 200
Feb: Newport
Mar: Chirk
Apr: Eureka Perm
May: Eccleshall Perm
Jun: Hills and Plains of Cheshire
Jul: Eureka Perm

I've just entered the Venetian Nights (Sep) and the Eureka (Nov) and I have the forms for the Horsheshoe Pass (Oct).
That means I've got to find a ride in August.
I've heard and read good things about the Sych it and Sea but it's right at the end of the month so it doesn't leave any margin for failure.
Perhaps a perm early in the month and SIS for "fun" ?

[SR Steve]

August is proving to be a tricky month for me to get to calendar events, but I managed to pull in a DIY 200 today . I need to ride another one before the end of the month as I am trying to keep a double RRTY going at least until the PBP.

Met Rob Gray out training. He has been going very well since Highlands 1300, having done three sub 21 minute 10s.

Also called in to see mds101. He is still in pain from being knocked off, but is now commuting on fixed and has managed to ride a 200

So started and finished with Tomsk's 600...... nice way to round off the year, with an eagerly anticipated Essex SR medal too.

Not sure whether we'll step off for a month or two now, we've got a garden and house to sort out!

[Delph Cyclist]

Just to say that I rarely look at this page.  There's a topic on the AUK Forum that is more likely to get my attention (if you need it).

For example, I've recently been asked about difficulties with delays in getting Perm entries and whether I take this into consideration for the RRTY.  The short answer is NO.

[Andrew Br]

That's a reminder to me to look at the AUK forum sometimes.

My RRTY came to an end last week courtesy of a car/tarmac interface.
The bike needs new shifters, bars and a front wheel but there are no signs of either the frame or fork being damaged.
That's good; I'd hate to have to announce that (the) Disco is dead.

I have cuts and bruises and I need to get a new helmet since I landed on it.

On the bright side, I'm entered on rides in September, October and November.
If I complete those, it would seem daft not to ride in December then January and .............
