That's Oop North, that is! Too far to travel for a 200, but I shall very
likely be tempted into Northern Parts for the odd 4- or 600, coz I'll
probably be fed up with Sussex by then ;-)

should be plenty of Southern 4's and 6's without venturing north of
Watford; including the odd East Anglian pancake flat 6; and the rather
less so Albion / PBstim which goes to the Cotswolds.

True, and in 2003 there was a even 600 starting from Waltham Abbey, which
would make it the second-nearest-to-Larrington-Towers Audax start in the
history of all things ever.

However, I wouldn't mind doing the Spurn Head and/or 3 Coasts again, and
iffen the rumours of the resurrection of the Daylight 600 are true...

The Old 240 is being run as well as the Spurn Head. Meant to be an epic
but was withdrawn becuase some considered it too hard. The Daylight 600
is going to be on my list if it is on the list.

I feel I ought to venture darn sarth next year.

Your reaction is not unexpected sir ! I might do it, depends on how
well I am going next year.

I've ridden up Alston High Street before. Once in the rain. 'orrible.

Mind you, riding /down/ Alston High Street is almost as bad.

The Spurn Head has only 2.4 hills in 290 km, it's the last 65 which did the
damage..
