I know it is a way off yet, but assuming all goes well on L2B, i might, and it's a BIG might, look to have a go at a 100miler next year. Anyone else thinking along those lines or will 30 to 60miles be what most will be sticking to (myself included if L2B nearly kills me).
Just like the idea of having a go at that distance (personal challenge).
Any thoughts?

I honestly think it has to be done , the problem is 100 mile challenges in the UK are few and far between and of the two in the South in 2010 filled up in a matter of days if not weeks. I have got a place in the SDW 100 but have realised it coincides with my wife's 50th birthday!! I am holding onto it for the time being but may go up for grabs in the new year
I was having a look at a 100 mile schedule and it was rather amusing seeing a 30/20 Sat/Sun back to back...my wife would go spare

I must concur here that if everything goes well with Ltb and the Caesars , the logical step for 2010 has to be going for the iconic 100.
The fitness and most importantly the hunger will be there. Obviously the mileage will have to increase but don't get hooked by all these schedules. We should be able at this stage to access our own individuals needs.
Crucially we also have to appease family and at the sme time fulfil all the related responsiblilties and that will take some juggling.
I am particulary being drawn towards the Cotswolds 100 in June 2010 which had it's maiden run this year organised by Rory Coleman. I have a contact in the Ldwa who ran thie event and I am going to e-mail her and ask her for her thoughts and will report back herein.
