The Squits

This week saw me cycle zero miles. Gutted! I had planned to cycle Mr Pickwick's March Madness 200k audax but a tummy bug put pay to that - that was the second Black Sheep event I did not start in a row. Grr!

Below is a list of rides I hope to complete in the near future and are posted here in an attempt to cheer me up.

• 9 March - Solant-Hungerford 200k PERM (plan to cycle this reverse way around with Aid and Chris)
• 23 March - The Dean 300k (4 AAA) (a hilly affair with Chris - his first 300!)
• 6 April - Sam Weller's April Foolery 200k (1.75 AAA) or A Rough Diamond 300k PERM (if Ron is free, as he had to abandon plans of cycling The Dean)
• 20 April - Heart of England 300k (with Chris, Jamie M is booked onto this one too)
• 25 May - Llanfairpwllgwyngyll gogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch 400k (just because I want to pass this place name)
• 29 June - To Holl and Back 600k

My cycling this year has formed a ridiculous pattern whereby I cycle for 2 weeks then have a weeks break. This has been the pattern for the past 9 weeks. This is a circle I hope to break. My yearly distance remains at 798 miles (112 miles under my desired goal).
