As Hippy said, it's pretty straight forward to use DIY's for RRtY. As long as you're not doing loops or using the same stretch of road over and over again, pretty much anything goes for a DIY. My winter route for RRtY is one big out and back (which happens to pass a Greggs 12 times).
Best thing to do is try and batter out your 200 for the month as soon as possible each month. Nothing is more stressful than trying to complete a 200 on the very last day of the month when you're 10 months in. Trust me, I've been there.
My plan in 2025 is a fixed Round the year series. I’ve already completed an SR and LEL fixed and so am moving on to the next challenge.
I have ear marked the first six months of audax between South Wales and Bristol already but wouldn’t mind a back up option.
Does anyone have experience of a DIY and what hoops / regulations/ people I need to jump through/ pass / contact to have an emergency route I can use if I can’t make an organised ride.
Would it be easier to ride a current 200 as a DIY?
