Haven’t decided yet so that means the entire month is at risk

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.
Riding distance over the last few weeks has been low mind, so I need to up things after this weekend.

Maybe get so hikeabike practice as well Matt. Actual riding distance may only be 100km or so

Same. Weekend days are irrelevant; weather forecast is the defining factor.

I've idiotically also bought a golden ticket

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.

I really hope not. I'm OK riding but my hip will only withstand so much pushing before I'd need to give up.

I can manage a few hours of it, just not half a day!

Please could Stuart respect this when knitting together the route...

Very much doubt it

"It's all rideable, if you were a better rider anyway"

I'm in - my first BB200

Never mind the HAB, how many pubs are on the route?

On some of the BB200s you'd be lucky to see more than one!

(I did pop off route for a bit of dutch courage on one BB200 after breaking a rib)

You're not endearing me to the concept.

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

"Best Bitter 20"?

If Stu has his way it'd be "Best Bitter & Twisted 20"

20 km of pushing through tussocks. You're a better man than I.

I’m in. First time for me. When’s the route available?

When’s the route available?

Expect an email on the 26th of this month.

Hope you were paying more attention when you were dishing out the IV’s brother...
