Realistically I need to do it earlier rather than later as I have a rum event in the middle of the month which probably wont do much for my fitness / weight!

That’s my first time BB200 hat in the ring too.
I’m aiming for the 10/11 weekend.

I am aiming for the first decent day in October, perhaps even 1st with the exception of weekends.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 11:09 am I'm thinking that there's likely to be riders every weekend throughout Oct ... except the one chosen by Dave 'stormbringer' Barter
Riding distance over the last few weeks has been low mind, so I need to up things after this weekend.
Re: BB200 2020
Maybe get so hikeabike practice as well Matt. Actual riding distance may only be 100km or somattpage wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 10:16 amI am aiming for the first decent day in October, perhaps even 1st with the exception of weekends.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 11:09 am I'm thinking that there's likely to be riders every weekend throughout Oct ... except the one chosen by Dave 'stormbringer' Barter

Re: BB200 2020
Yes, good point. I better add a pair of toe studs on the shoes
Knowing it might be coming down south towards me, I will hopefully have a fair idea of what is actually rideable before hand.
I am expecting Drygarn Fawr, Cerrig Llwyd y Rhestr or another similar desert crossing.

Re: BB200 2020
Face it Chris mate, flaneurs like us are more suited to a BB20 Event . Maybe Stu'll do us one .

If Stu has his way it'd be "Best Bitter & Twisted 20"
