^ Spybot's already grown a beard. And got a map holder ;)
As I told him I'm up for doing some more Audax rides next year, but I struggle to understand the terminology and their website, probably because I'm incapable of growing a beard. I really enjoyed the The Shaftesbury Spring 100 back in March, it introduced me to one of my favourite lanes in Essex.
I also come fixed by default. I might join up now to force me to start planning what I want to do next year, and learn how to use that website. I definitely want to do a 400, as 200 isn't that far really, and if as Oliver Shick says the 600 is actually easier than the 400 I suppose it would make sense to do that, but I am somewhat intimidated by the idea of doing 372 miles, basically.
The National 400 has been recommended to me by a few people, apparently it is quite flat and a good first 400.
N00b question: Is there a way of seeing the route from a page like the one I just linked to? How can you tell how hilly it is? Am I being dim?
