London-Edinburgh-London 2013: The thread

[arallsopp]

I've just had notification that my 600km has been verified by Audax UK and I am now officially a Super Randonneur for 2012. I told my family of course and you can imagine the response......whatever.

Do you get a badge? Even they would have to acknowledge a badge. Its the 'Blue Peter' effect.

Bravo!!! A solitary 200 (+1 went off-piste and did my own 200) to my name. I probably could manage 400 if not 600... still want to do a 200 miler this year.

Cycle to London for the Felpham FNRttC...

Apart from that involving taking a day off (and getting a Friday might be a problem), it isn't far enough. Only comes to 168 (did it Good Friday '11).
Thinking of joining Mart's ride from the smoke for Winchester on the Friday night, then turning south to ride home when the mileage is right. Failing that, I have the week of the Whitstable FNR off, so I might ride up & ride all/part way back to the smoke.

Are you going to ride up to London for the Winchester ride? Otherwise it's not a 200 I'm afraid. It's 75 out and 100 back. I might just get a 200 with home to hpc but I've already got my 200 for the year

I shall get the badge, so that if I ever get a Carradice Bag I can attach it to it

You'll have to get a Carradice now. Everyone who does a SR has to have one. It's the law.

And don't forget to get a pipe cleaner for each of the hubs... infact rb58... you need to sort that out for yourself..

Damn. I was going to use a rack pack for my SR and the LEL. Do you reeaallly have to sport a Carradice?

Yep. You don't think I'd voluntarily lumber Lelly with a Carradice otherwise do you? (oh and they're made in Nelson and Nelson really, really, really needs all the support it can get)
