Nothing is set in stone for the next challenge as there is clearly some training to do as my reide during the Etape proved. However 2 events are bubling away in the back of my mind.
First is the Gran Fondo Milan San Remo: http://www.milano-sanremo.org/en/
The Milan San Remo one day bike race is known as La Classicissima and at 290 Km is the longest one day event in the pro calander. The route takes the riders through Lombardia, Piedmont and Liguria then finally facing the famous slopes of the Turchino, the Cipressa and the Poggio. This is a tough race for the pros and for amateurs (especially like me) it will be a complete ball buster.
Second is the Marmotte Sportive: http://www.sportcommunication.info/web2010/index.php?langue=2
Essentialy this event is the same as that which I have just completed, with a few 'minor' differences. An extra 10km - so 170km in total, an extra mountain and an extra 1500 metres of climbing.
Will I do any of them, one of them or both of them? I suppose it will all depend on timing, funding, training and motivation nearer the time!
