I have no idea what that is, and professor google doesn't seem to either. What is the MI1600?

There is/was a 1,600km Mille Miglia audax in Italy.

Thanks. I've heard of it. Still can't find it anywhere referred to as MI 1600. Mind you, I can't find any other abbreviation. Even the full name is more likely to lead to a car race than an Audax.

I see it's in Agosto next year - wherever that is.

Isn't that just between <google translate> luglio and Settembre? That would put it in Umbria, I think

More seriously (or less seriously, I'm not sure which)... that looks really lumpy and scary!

16000m of ascent in the 1600km - on paper, no hillier than PBP. However, note the first 400km - pan flat! According to many, that will be your fastest 400km ever if you can work in groups.
I fancy it, I don't fancy the heat (though the last running was exceptionally hot and would hopefully not be repeated). Not going to work next year because of other plans, but sometime.

FWIW, here's my ride report on PBP http://cycling-intelligence.com/2015/11/25/87-very-special-hours-my-pbp-2015/

I liked this bit, it's almost Beckettian:
covering distance means physical effort but the time will pass anyway.
Macbeth had similar thoughts: Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.
