[Closed] cycling bucket list

I'll not be doing any of this stuff this year but...

South downs way both ways
transpennine trail in a day (again)
300 mile in a day
UK, top to bottom, unsupported, unhoused (I bivvy or sleep in shelter)
A month in France. Like the Jackal I will sleep with rich divorcees to hide my trail, I will ride the green lanes of provance. I will drink raw red wine and eat strong loose cheese. I will mingle, with the reserve.

not bike related but ive always fancied walking the GR10 across the Pyrenees

Mega avalanche (Done)

Er, I think that's it. Pretty content really . . .

Taka, the GR10 is incredible, I spent a month walking and wild camping the middle (most interesting) section. One of the best experiences I have had so far.

Trans Pyrenees is my next cycling goal.

I'd like to ride from my front door to the Mediterranean, no special reason just seems like it'd be a good ride and a decent challenge.

Ride the great divide.

I got one of my list ticked on Saturday so it is now gone. Last year I tried to ride to Newcastleton (from Newcastle) but the weather was terrible so I turned round at Kielder. The main aim was to get to the Border but Newcastleton seemed like a nicer target as I like the ride over). Got all the way this time. 135miles mix of road, gravel cyclepath and red/black mtb paths on a CX bike with semi slicks.

Got a Strava KOM as well 😉

still not given up my dream of riding the tour divide- just got a little distracted by life 😉

id also like to go to the canadian northshore

im hoping to tick off the major cols this summer - 3 weeks in the alps in the van with mtb and road bikes.

id like to see sub 20 for a 10mile one day .... even if it is wind assisted 😉 PB is 21.50 on a TT bike with standard wheels , helmet and shorts/jersey combo.

Follow the dog

Whistler Bike Park & The North Shore
Maribor
Roscoff to Santander on the road bike

I'd still like to do the trails behind the nat west in Swindon

Whistler - Rainbow Mt. heli-drop

Hmmm - I've done that. A great experience but I wouldn't call it a classic [u]ride[/u]. It's pretty much a fall line trail with the odd bit of flat so was over pretty damn quickly. Great views at the top. This was back in 2005, I think, so there may be other routes now and there are rumours that some new alpine singletrack is going to be developed up there.

Been meaning to do L'Eroica for several years now - just need to find the right bike. That's definitely top of my list.

Follow a river to its mouth (probably the Loire or Rhine but open to ideas)

I'm lucky to have ticked off most my mtb must-dos.

I am going to Nepal in October for my 40th with 7 mates, Av. 40km a day, Kathmandu Valley. Not getting any younger, so why not.

Cannot wait!
