Wondering when BCM will sell out - tempted to enter now, but sort of want to wait until I'm sure I'll have a more appropriate bike.
Doing Dunwich and back seems harder than most 400km rides - obviously not a lot of climbing, but psychologically hard to drag yourself onto the road again when everyone else is finishing and you've been up all night.
Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated. Feel like I've really moved forward this year. Last year I did a handful of 100km rides and only one 200km so have stepped things up quite considerably this year compared to that. I really want to build on what I have now and take it to the next level. Did a DIY 400 which was Dun Run and back. Also Around Weald including transits was 370km. I'm also fairly comfortable with lack of sleep. But need to ride a calendar 400 to feel like I've done it. So that's on the list for 2016 and I think I'll have a go at BCM. Everyone who has ridden BCM says it's amazing.
Well, back to the present. Another ride for September to plan and probably a perm for October as I can't find any calendar rides that fit.
