Wanted, a physical competition to enter this winter, preferably in Northern England.
 
Random I know, but I like to go from target to target. This year was the Rotterdam marathon in April, and then the 24 hour Rad am Ring team cycle race (report still to come) last weekend.

So I need an event to enter, preferably Jan/Feb to aim for, unless I've got something to train for I tend to be super lazy, so I need some sort of target.

Things I've done in the past: triathlons, Tough Guy, Marathons, 20km races, an adventure race, duathlons, Rad am Ring. I'd quite like to do an event with a twist, so any suggestions?

Work wise I'm very unsure of where I'm going to be after November for the next 6-8 months, so I thought an event in Northern England/scottish Borders (North Yorkshire and further north) would be ideal to combine with a visit to the folks. However I'd consider anything in Europe if it was enticing enough.

So any suggestions?

Already have a summer coast to coast to coast plan forming in the back ground, although some form of running and/or cycling winter endurance event would be good prep.

Try coast to coast east to west. The stiffer terrain is at the end of the trek, and its into the prevailing weather.

Which Coast-to-Coast are you doing? If you're up for a proper challenge, then I'm hoping it's this one you're doing:

Let just say when I attempted it, I wasn't expecting to be carrying my bike on my back while hiking up mountain passes! :p
