After a great day at the Autumn Epic, I'm really keen to do another sportive. However, its the end of the season and not much goes on between now and next February. Shame. Instead, I've worked out which rides I will do next year.

The Running Shoe Mileage Myth
-
How many miles have these running shoes covered? 100 miles? 200? Would it
surprise you to discover that they have just hit the 500 mile mark?

Some good sportives there. I would be looking to get a entry to the Fred myself as I missed out last year.
The Etape du Tour is some experance Simon take in as much as you can.
Best of luck.
Alec.
Thanks Alec. I'm loving it all at the moment. I can't wait to do another offical ride.
I hear the Fred sells out in a day. I have the 6th Jan firming in my diary to get myself a place.
Hello Simon, you kept this quiet :-)
I thought I should say something since we'll be dragging ourselves around France, along with Clive hopefully and maybe a few others.
Feel free to give me the credit for finding the David Lloyd sportive. And I'll do you a report of the Dartmoor Beast if you ask me nicely.
Ed found the Mega Challenge. Well done Ed. And if you go to Dartmoor, you won't find The Beast. Its Exmoor.
good luck with the dave lloyd mega and fred. this years etape will be easy by comparison!
Thanks Mark. Yep, I'm starting to think that the goal of the Etape is clearly not the hardest thing I'm looking to complete next year.
