Damn. So it's not like CTT where all the long stuff disappears after July. :)

Andy C event. 20000000m of climbing?

It's 2 weeks later so 600k, stag weekend, 600k - sounds like a perfect recipe for illness heading into winter :)

Yes, the perfect storm...
Maybe this time of year you need to enter two in order to get half-decent weather for one of them?
I did Flatlands last year and it was great. I did a bit of a Hippy though and misnavigated so ended up doing an extra 70km.
Actually I didn't misnavigate, but my garmin stopped working and phone batteries died in the rain just before a control, so I followed Jack Petersen, and he misnavigated for me.

I'm not sure I can do that second one, my folks will be back at mine and it'd be a bit rude to just bugger off on a ride right before they fly back to Oz. Maybe I'll do what I did last time and ride them as Perms when the weather is really bad and there's no light - just to test my motivation :)
