Realistically I need to do it earlier rather than later as I have a rum event in the middle of the month which probably wont do much for my fitness / weight!

That’s my first time BB200 hat in the ring too.
I’m aiming for the 10/11 weekend.

I am aiming for the first decent day in October, perhaps even 1st with the exception of weekends.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 11:09 am I'm thinking that there's likely to be riders every weekend throughout Oct ... except the one chosen by Dave 'stormbringer' Barter![]()
Riding distance over the last few weeks has been low mind, so I need to up things after this weekend.
Re: BB200 2020
Maybe get so hikeabike practice as well Matt. Actual riding distance may only be 100km or somattpage wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 10:16 amI am aiming for the first decent day in October, perhaps even 1st with the exception of weekends.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 11:09 am I'm thinking that there's likely to be riders every weekend throughout Oct ... except the one chosen by Dave 'stormbringer' Barter![]()

Re: BB200 2020
I've idiotically also bought a golden ticket 

Re: BB200 2020
Yes, good point. I better add a pair of toe studs on the shoes

Knowing it might be coming down south towards me, I will hopefully have a fair idea of what is actually rideable before hand.
I am expecting Drygarn Fawr, Cerrig Llwyd y Rhestr or another similar desert crossing.

Re: BB200 2020
Face it Chris mate, flaneurs like us are more suited to a BB20 Event
. Maybe Stu'll do us one

Re: BB200 2020
If Stu has his way it'd be "Best Bitter & Twisted 20"
