GBDuro is probably the most interesting one for me. I had NCT in my list to investigate but it's longer than TABR so that would blow all my holidays away for the year and I have other shit to do (and I don't only want to do a part of it). I could use unpaid leave again but it's not THAT interesting to me. I'd do Transiberica again (Spain is rad) but it would depend on the route and what else I'm doing.

So what is everybody entering for next year?
I've had a good look through the calendar and there are a few good options but I can't decide what to do.
If I could get a place in TCR I would do that, but I won't know until Jan and that might be too late for other stuff.
My backup was going to be NorthCape - Tarifa, but most likely only as far as Nice as I couldn't justify the time it would take to ride 7,400km. But it is so early in the year - 20 June.
There are a few other options in July / August, but all a bit shorter:
Three Peaks Bike Race - 2150km, loads of Alps + Ventoux
Trans Alpes - basically all-you-can-eat of the Alps, 2850km with 64km of climbing
Transiberica - 3,330km, Spain and Portugal.
Carpathian Arch - 2,500km - Romania, Ukraine, Slovenia
GB Duro - 2,000km (mostly off road) best thing to do in the UK if travel is going to be a problem again this year.
Anybody doing any of these, or have strong views on any of them?
