      Thanks guys!
      Ray - I haven't heard of Randonneuring, but Dave has - I don't think it is big over here - Have heard of Audax, but not done anything over 100k yet - one year at a time!!!! And it sounds like a good challenge!

      Robert - yeah, some celebrity over here has endorsed a series of women's only cycling sportives - don't know how it will be, but thought I would give it a go!
