I'm helping to organise a new Audax that takes in the surrounds of Bristol and drops onto the Mendips. It promises to be a great ride so hope some of you might want to come along.
It'll be a good tester for spring training.

I too will be going short as I am doing the three peaks trial (20mile off road run) around abergavenny the day before. Short will probably be a test for me!

I get back from a training week in Majorca on the 20th so might even chance the 200 if the legs are still feeling good.

I assume that it is listed here on the AUK website

http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=10-385

as "Barry's Bristol Ball Buster"

Can I be the first to say I will certainly be doing 200km rides this time of year. In fact the following weekend I was going to do this

Top marks to Vorsprung, nice ride down in Cornwall by all accounts but the wind and hills just sap me when I used to ride there.

Hmm. 200k? Will it kill me? Have a feeling the route passes within a few miles of home so can always nip home for some food/shower/sleep part way round!
