Yep, much easier to slot a few 4 hour rides in, than an 8hour one I guess.
( I managed an AAA SR last season as a Southerner with DIY from home by front loading a stack of climbing before heading out into the levels)

Definitely.
Also, when 50k of your 200k is pan flat to get in/out of London and you end up with the same points as someone living in the Peak District doing a 100k.Because I've now looked at some of the awards I'm thinking of doing something dumb like:
100 AAA (tough)
AAARTY (less tough)
AAA SR (even more less tough)
as well as convincing the missus she should do the same AAARTY and AAA SR as me so I don't also have to deal with her own events :)
hippy
I had a look at the AAA points tables and the peeps at the top each year are doing mostly 100k rides it seems. I never knew that was a thing. I guess it means people that live near some big climbs just do quick rides out and back to get their AAAs. No good for the southerners unless they're also going for big 'normal' points.
