    Next year, I turn 40 and as is the way of us MAMILs, I’d like to celebrate with an epic cycling event in H2 2016 or H1 2017.

    I am a reasonably fit club cyclist and can knock out 100 miles a day with some fairly big climbs (I’ve done the Bealach Mor on three occasions, for example).

    So, the challenge to you guys is – I’d like an event that is something really special, doesn’t take more than 1 week and is, ideally, somewhere interesting in the world.

    I’ve looked at doing The Cape Rouleur in 2017 but would love to hear your thoughts on that and also any ideas for alternatives….

    Geneva to Nice ?
    Or as the fashion appears to be for gravel bikes, the via De la Plata (Saville to Santiago) ?

    That’s a great suggestion.

    I saw a review of it on the Cycling Weekly website (http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/sportives/sportive-reviews/marrakech-atlas-etape-126854) but had totally forgotten about it.

    I’ll investigate further…….

    If you want something unique
    If you want something unique then I would recommend the Etape Atlas, the next one is scheduled for the beginning of May (as it is every year), and it supports a very good cause.
