I'm glad you mentioned UTMB ...
I once listened to an hour+ ultra-running podcast (Tor-Cultra is how the presenter titles it), they mentioned UTMB and TDS a million times, never explaining what on earth these events actually were.

Now click on your link and see how quickly you can find what "UTMB" stands for. Then work down the list on the

I've stuck entries in for the Rough Diamond & the Brevet Cymru, to go with the Welsh 600.

Alfreton 200k today done in cold wind. That's the first PBP qualifier done.

Huzzah!
I was hoping to get off the mark with the local (x-rated) 300 on Mar 11th ... but the forecast looks appaling. Wind/snow/rain and a 1am finish? Been there, done that, feeling too old nowadays ...

It was cold on Mr Pickwick's Mad March Hare too, coldest point was early afternoon in Forest of Dean.

Thanks to the Audax schedule I've never been there in Summer - it seems to be a constantly miserable place. Every road is either in a deep shady (and often petrifying) dank woody bit, or high up exposed to rain and wind off the Severn Estuary!

Four sides of a Rough Diamond for me, weekend after next, to get the 300 done (airmail 200 last month).
I reserve the right to wimp out if it stays this cold: once bitten, twice frostshy.

Is that a new audax format ?

It could be called a randonnée.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Route check of my 200 in a couple of weeks. It’ll also be my first PBP qualifier. Only minor route changes to last year’s route, subject to what we find during the check.

This is an Audax thread. We don't want any of your la-de-da foreign stuff here.

Any CC'ers riding "The Dean 300" this Saturday? Or words of wisdom from those who have ridden it.
