Now I'm perplexed. I really want to get a sub 8 hour Alpine and this year I'm fit and healthy and getting ready to go for it. On the other hand, this is the first ACE250 and as one of the first participants in the very first AAC it'd be nice to add another first to my portfolio.
The problem is that it really isn't a very classic course. If it was 300 and took in Buffalo as well, I'd be there in a heartbeat. So, do I chase my 8 hours this year, or go for first on a new ride??? Waiting for my muse to inspire me.
Following one's dreams can be so fraught, especially when they involve being chased around the Alpine course naked by tattooed Swedish cycling girls.

So... Nice on the portfolio, or something that you're fit and ready for? which lasts longer/ feels better? (I don't know ;))
I've been working up to the 200km ride for years. I reckon the 250km ride - apart from your objection about it being a dud - really diminishes the achievement of completing the 200km ride. It in effect makes it the second best ride on the day.
I think they should hold it some other time, or as you say, turn it into a 300km ride. But then again, the Alpine Classic - as magnificent as it is - isn't really an Audax ride is it?
