My winter training has kicked off and so far ive not been on the bike for ages. ๐
Going to do my local series again, and I would like to solo D2D again as I have unfinished buisness there after my last try in 06 and the little mental breakdown I suffered at the halfway point.
Aston DH series
and maybe the megavalanche and mountain of hell too if i can afford it/ beat some mates and more importantly get permission from the missus into it
I want to get a sub 6hr time in the Dragon ride next year, then do well again in Bristol 12 solo followed by a another Loooooooong adventure ride, then Torq12 solo, Cheddar if I'm recovered and then Relentless 24 solo (or Moab) to finish off.
Then cheese and wine, sleep, repeat.
There will be a fair bit of xc racing, too, coz I'm pants at it. Must go quicker!
So far:
Solo entires: Puffer, 10Under, 10@Moray, Relentless.
Sportives : Bealach Beag, Cairngorm100, Ullapool.
(Not cheap! Racing 2010 will cost me a small fortune ๐ )
Plans are:
Puffer quads (training going really well :roll:)
SXC Vets - aiming for all 7 and better than mid-table finishes
Kielder 100 - aim is around 10 1/2 hours or even sub 10 if the conditions are good.
Three 10s, probably in pairs as usual. A podium would be nice, having missed one by 8 seconds this year.
Tour de Ben Nevis sounds like a cracker too
I can do ok in enduros through sheer bloody-mindedness but I need more speed for the shorter races. Fitness has dropped off a lot recently due to post-Transalp apathy and colds.
Hell, I might even buy a road bike...
i will do all the xc events i can fit in. gorricks/sxc some nps. set 2 rise then mayhem/bontrager/sleepless/
entered kielder already and thinking about trans germany ...
i will be in a bright green mule bar kit !
I shall be doing the SXC Series and possibly some Gorrick and the Kielder 100, that is assuming my knee sorts itself out and I get my fitness back to a reasonable level ๐
24hrs of Exposure
10 @ Kirroughtree
Kielder 100
Relentless24
hopefully I'll be able to get another event in before these and something else in the summer just have to see how things pan out.
