I've got a great route for a 300km from Newton Abbot or Exeter (an event that doesn't run atm). 4.5AAA. Some lovely coastal riding into Cornwall.
Kurai-
Same deal though isn't it? 3hr train ride to start from Paddington on GWR trains and they'll probably want £100 for the privilege.
I've got a 235km 3AAA DIY I use in the Chilterns from Dave Morrison. But I can't imagine riding something like that 30x over the course of a year just to get 100 points.
hippy
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 :)
