Last year I aimed to complete a 200k audax and managed to achieve that by March, I then aimed for the Brevet 1000 (5 x 200) which I failed to do after running out of time on my fifth at about 180k. This year I intend to achieve the Brevet 1000, and complete my first 300k audax. Not bad progress for someone who a few years ago weighed 28 stone and had difficulty cycling more than 4 miles.

Nothing but respect for all youve done FMOAB. Been showing the lads at work yer post to show they can get fit if they want to. Well done mate.

The Tour of Wessex and La Marmotte are the headlines for me along with the road.cc metric century and tourist challenges, plenty of riding with my 11 year old son on his new road bike and as many trips to the Peaks as I can get away with.

Great challenge for La Marmotte. Enjoy!!

Go under 28 minutes for a 10.

Go under 2:25 for the 52 mile route of the Great Manchester Cycle.

Get out with the club as many Sundays as possible.

If I manage to switch workplaces to somewhere that's a good commuting distance, all the better.

Last line sounds a bit like me nfe! Are ya a member of BC? Theyve got some cracking training plans!!

Nige,

Mill and Hills is from Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire. It's actually called Mills Hills. But that just sounds wrong. Wore the wrong gear. Spent most of the route either overheating or shivering, often it felt at the same time.

Cheers

Heard of Hebden Bridge and think its near Dewsbury am I right. Yea its nasty when youve got the wrong clothing on. Enjoy the ride mate

10k miles is my goal as it has been for the past 2 years both of which I've managed around 8.5k. Need to make the most of the summer and get a few 1k months in to compensate for the missed sessions in the winter due to ice/snow etc

Nice Target! Hope ya get it in

well, aim high, keep it simple:

i'm hoping to improve my 25 mile PB from 50.21 to 49 something. i'd also like to bring my 10 PB down a bit from 19.42 to somewhere around 19.30, but i can take or leave this one.

that's about it. I'd like to enjoy riding my bike as much as possible and cut down on the travelling to get to races, i.e 3 hours in the car for 20 minutes on the road, or even less for some hill climbs = not so good.

Way out of my league!! Best 25 ive EVER done is 1'20". Sounds like a realistic goal too. Respect for that
