Not next year be because it's only run every four years.
2027, though, is another popular jaunt for cyclists: the 1200km Paris Brest Paris. I'd like to have another crack at that.

Stopping the event was sad but absolutely the right decision. I was riding through North Yorkshire when storm Floris stuck and conditions were *extremely* hazardous. Tackling the route over the Pennines could easily have resulted one or more of the 2,000+ riders getting killed.

I am one of the riders who took part in the London Edinburgh London ride in August. I can confirm that the condition of the surface of some of the roads on the route through Cambridge was absolutely shocking.

When I attempted the 1,900km "Race Around The Netherlands" a few years ago I carried about a kilo of porridge oats. I never did manage to eat of it.
But then I did manage to poison myself and fail to finish. Needed an ambulance too, you know.

Corporate, management-level unfortunately.
However, head office is a three hour drive away. So overnight stays on a park bench are a cost-saving option for me.
