My weekends have all been switched round. Sunday the 9th is now the only day the Mrs & I have off at the same time this month, so no Seasons of Mists for me. But I have entered The Clwyd Gate [138km] on the 15th.

There seems to be a dearth of 100km audaxes in my area for the rest of the year. Will probably have to make up my own century rides for November and December. Looking forward to the Windrush Winter warm-up in January .... a real must-do ride in my calendar.

Signed up for my first Audax: The Kelvedon Oyster 100k on 21st January :-).
Barely managed to complete the Tasty Cheddar this year on my recumbent trike, first ever Audax but it hasn't put me off entirely I am hoping to enter the Jack and Grace Cotton Memorial Audax on 28th January.

Yes, that's a nice one. The year I did it, it was blighted by ice between Thornbury and Berkeley, but I had to do it as it ran through my own patch in Gloucestershire. I'll be opting for the Windrush Winter Warm-up on the same weekend, myself ... a truly stunning route through the Cotswolds.

Pleased to say, after slight wobble when I posted the entry and then later that day saw that RT had put 'Entries now closed', I too have a BCM 600 entry (e-mail yesterday). It will be interesting to compare and contrast it with your KSW 600 which I thoroughly enjoyed (with success) last year. Suspect that 150+ riders and the implicit demand at King's will contrast with the smooth running of the Bude church hall (midnight-5am @375km). And the Menai control will struggle to be as good as the KSW Penzance control run by the irrepressible brigade of Audax Kernow volunteers.
So not my next one (probably Exeter Wheelers' Coast and Quantocks 200) but my 2017 600. Leading up to Mille Pennines in early July (hopefully successfully this time, learning lessons from the 2016 epic) and then (dependent on getting an entry next week), maybe LEL.

Musselburgh RCC Tour of East Lothian for me, 60km of hills followed by 40km into the ever present refreshingly robust head wind.
Its has everything a mid winter 100km Audax in Scotland should have and more..........

Ah yes, @ianrauk the Man of Kent is nice, and the Grimpeur opens the possibility of a GdS medal. I'll be out of the country then I think, so will escape the possibility of riding that particular brand of madness....
Considering the Mini North-West Passage as my first Audax but getting a bit nervous about hills and timing!
