First event completed - Nippy Sweetie (with nippy head wind all the way round) with 4 mins to spare.
I've got round to doing a bit of planning so I thought I'd post what I am intending to do by way of my 2012 SR.
200: Denmead, 17 March
300: The Dean, 24 March
400: Severn Across, 12 May
600: Kernow & South West, 26/7 May
The first two are definites. I've wavered over my 4 and 600s. Last year I did the Buckingham Blinder (400) and Bryan Chapman (600) and they are both possibilities, but it's nice to do something different. The Pendle 600 also sounds extremely fab (especially as I come from northern England and the route links many places that I know) but the date isn't so good and, tbh, it's a bit hilly, for me.
I'm not doing Mille Alba (due to cloverleaf allergy) so this year's main objective is the 24-hour TT (21/2 July).
So am I, and I didn't even ride it.... And I am still hung over from the K&SW...
Chapeau frank! I was at the arrivee on Sunday rustling up well-deserved teas and cheese on toast, so hello again. Thought you looked vaguely familiar - must be from your avatar!And I am still hung over from the K&SW: probably the hardest ride I've done and I'll need some time to collect my thoughts.

You should have seen the state of some of the finishers...Surely you'd have remembered if you served cheese on toast to a headless torso?

600km - ?
The 600 will be a problem unless I can condense my program, as there are no events that late in the year. A DIY or a permanent is a possibility, but I really don't fancy riding that distance on my own at this stage.
What are the experienced Audaxers thoughts?
That does look like a fantastic ride, but Taunton is a long way from Suffolk by train, especially as I don't have regular work.There's still this, which I can recommend.
