The Up the 'Uts rides on Saturday (12th March). I'll be doing the 200 as a PBP qualifier, there are also 150km and 100km rides.
Got round in 11h25 but it's 16km over distance and I had a 25 minute stop to fix a puncture in the pitch black middle of nowhere just 5km from the end. I passed the 200km mark after 10h09 which isn't too shabby for me in March. Herts/Essex is very fixed friendly although it did go up through Widdington, Thaxted, Elmdon and Chrishall (the last two after 180km, which is nice).
230km for the day, had a nice long soak in the bath and just finishing my beer before going to sleep like a log.

1/4 PBP qualifiers done (or 2/15 distance wise).
