    Got myself a few such as the Cannock Chase Winter Classic and the Hell of the North Cotswolds, but wouldn’t mind getting a few more in my calendar.

    Just about to buy a 29er so any excuse to disappear off on it are welcome.

    Brass Monkeys in early 2014 and Sani2c in May.
    Sani2c 2014

    A 29er would be ideal for Sani, long flowing trails, can’t wait

    Single speed european and world champs, I’m organising the uk’s next year so wont be riding. Lots of other stuff including the odd cannock race, and some endurance events.

    Hoping to do the Lozerienne VTT around the Gorges du Tarn: http://www.lozerienne.com/indexvtt.htm

    It’s like the Enduro format, but for XC (so the timed specials go up as well as down).

    edit: just noticed that LoCo listed IronBike… Good luck, that looks amazing, and incredibly hard!

    London to Paris in 24 hours in July is my main goal. I’d like to do the Singletrack Weekender as well if it is run this year.

    Mate of mine did Iron Bike this year – destroyed his bike in the process but enjoyed it, Scale 29er with a Reverb…

    For me, 3 Peaks ‘Cross with a vengeance as I missed it this year due to injury a few weeks beforehand. Apparently the conditions were much more conducive to an enjoyable event compared to last year…

    If anyone is organising any events that they think would benefit from us being there to provide suspension tech. feel free to mail us details 😀

    Big event for next year is the arrival of a second blobby jr in Feb (LoCo, I don’t think I’ll be needing any suspension tech!) I suspect that will pretty much wipe out the rest of the year.

    Heaven of the south
    Bontreager twentyfour12 (12 hour solo with team sumo!)
    Big bike bash – as an organiser I have to 😉

    Absolutely nothing. I’m considering doing something though as I could do with some motivation to do more pedally rides. Maybe the biggest CRC Marshbrook marathon? Seems a bit boring though but I do fancy pushing myself a bit either mtb or road, so any suggestions?

    Theres talk of doing tough mudder in the summer.

    Other than that, see what happens and what is on that interests me. I might try and get a club place on HONC this year for a change. But really depends on the weather as to whether i can be arsed.

    Silverstone Half Marathon

    Stilletos on Wheels, assuming they run it again 😀
    June:
    Ironman France (training kicks off on Monday)
    September:

    Highland Trail 550, again. Hopefully get beyond mile 150 this time though.

    Cairngorms Loop as training for the above, and to try and drop a couple of hours off my time this year.

    There’s also a plan forming to ride the West Highland, East Highland then Speyside Ways as a single tour over 4 days later in the year. However, most of my riding is going to be training for the HTR550, lots of bivi trips and general discomfort.

    3 pistes Sportive in June; looks very tasty indeed.
    Catch the Giro while on a tour right round Ireland and later the Tour in Yorks.
    Cross the Eastern Highlands twice in a 300 mile road weekend in August.
    Ride my bike as event medic at several Ultras.
    Ride the WHW as part of a slightly longer tour.
    Spend time in Kinlochleven, Torridon, Skye, up on the Cairngorms.
    Think I’ll avoid the Century Sportive in Fife this year. They’re mad competitive, that lot….

    Nothing booked yet but plan on doing all of the scottish enduro series, the tweedlove enduros and glentress seven (and possibly 10 Under the Ben even though I said I never would again) and the no fuss endurance downhill if it goes ahead. And then anything else that looks fun.

    Would love to sign up for the mega but I can’t make the numbers work, maybe for 2015…

    Oh aye, I’m doing the Ronde de Valanderen (presume that’s not the correct spelliing) as well with a gang from work. How did I forget that!

    Outlaw Nottingham – Iron distance triathlon.

    Everything else will hinge around prep for that, so a few big rides, half marathons, open water swimming events 🙂

    Andrewh- Good luck with your WHWRace application. First time, or done it before? I’ll be there, at the start, the finish and several places in between..
