Well I can’t ride, thanks to the bl**dy snow, and a preference for staying on my bike.  All I can do is think about the rides I’d like to be doing later this year.  Here’s the current proposed list, depending on how things pan out with “work”, aka Cyclosport.  There will probably be more, but it’s a start, right?

So, here goes…wish list time, with purple for the ones I’m definitely doing :

• March 3rd Mad March Hare
• March 17th Endura Lionheart
• April 7th Joker
• April 14th – The Hammer
• April 21st White Horse Challenge
• April 27th Tour of Pembrokeshire
• May 5th – Forest of Dean Classic
• May 19th – Somerset 100
• May 25th-27th – the Tour of Wessex (all three days *gulp*)
• June 2nd – Severn Bridge
• June 16th – Great Western
• June 22nd – Quebrantahuesos
• July 14th – Magnificat
• July 21st – Great Weston Ride
• August 4th – Prudential Ride London
• September 1st – Malvern Mad Hatter
• September 8th – Southern Sportive
• September 15th – Cheddar Cyclosportive
• October 13th – Cycletta New Forest
• October 20th – Exmoor Beast

And to cheer myself up in the meantime, mostly because I got sent an extra discount code for the Rapha Sale, I appear to have accidentally ordered one of these.  Well, it’s blue and Italian, to go with the blue & white Italian bike.  Virtually obligatory then 😉
