The Kilotogo company has released dates for its 2011 sportive series.

Regular readers of the blog will know I have partaken in a few of their events over the last couple of years and have had mixed levels of success and performance (See the post about the Rut recently to get the lows !).

The calendar has a mixed bag of events and locations with the Cheshire Cat opening the series before it heads to Cornwall for the Tor.

Some mornings you can kind of tell it wont happen for you. But with the rain hammering off the bonnet of the car and the trees bent at right angles, I had no foresight that Kilotogo event "The Rut" was going to be such a long and tough day for me.

However, within 3 miles I was dropped out of the group I started with and despite a mate waiting a couple of times for me up to the first feed, it was apparent that I was going badly.
