After a brief flirt with the idea of doing a tri or dualathlon, and having that idea dashed by my continuing ITB issues that only happen when I run, I am thinking of trying to get a few sportives in before the year is up.
Anyone got any recommendations?, in the S/E, E, or midlands if poss?, thinking maybe the tour of kent?, anyone done it?.
Also doing my first "official" time trial in a couple of weeks, so if that goes well, might make that a frequent occurance.

there's also the new Cyclefit Fondo - Tour of Romney Marsh in mid Sep which is interesting - mostly flat but a couple of short stiff feckers thrown in as well.
in fact there's a number of good sportives in the SEast over the next couple of months to keep people happy - hope to do a couple myself in Autumn
here's another two (bottom of the page)
Yeah, that incline was a bit of a shock to the system after hours of flat!, will check out the dates, and see how many I can fit in.
Cheers
I do fancy the dreilandergiro next year though.
I was hoping to do the Leicestershire Supertour on Sept 5th but might be on holiday then now.
That looks a good one Cougie - I'm planning on doing a continental sportive as a bit of a target next year - something to train for. Not sure what to go for yet - was thinking of the Ardechoise though the Marmotte seems more popular with people I've asked.
