Flag down a kind cyclist with a map and/or local knowledge?
"...as dry as the Atacama desert".
A battle with a bitterly cold wind, courtesy of Bella, made for a challenging 35 miles and 2,200feet in 2hrs 36min. All mainly off road on the usual trails and tracks and I was surprised how dry, relatively, everywhere was considering the amount of rain that fell last night.
Heaps of people about, mainly the once or twice a year walkers who have a habit of getting in the way, and a few cyclists. Fortunately the Parsley Hay kiosk was open for a warming Latte.
Overall a good Christmas exercise wise, with a 35 mile ride Christmas Eve, 4 mile run Christmas Day, !0 mile walk with dogs yesterday and todays ride. Hopefully I can keep it up in the New Year.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
About 26 miles, northwards through the Leakes and around the glorious scenery of Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station and M1 Junction 24. My fingers never warmed up.

I'm no mathematician but if 18 races = 1800 miles then if I only manage 1 fell race in 2021 I'll need to be pushing those pedals for 5600 miles.

Out on the bike at last, only had 1 ride in last 3 weeks. Went up and round the reservoir and back, about 30k. Got into the snow for couple of miles and discovered that cycling off road, uphill, through snow is damn hard work! I felt that today, but managed not to fall off.
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
18 races = 1800 suggests to me 1 race = 100 miles, so if you want the equivalent of 20 races plus 2000 miles, that suggests 1 race plus 3900 miles. But then, as you say, you're no mathematician.Covid Affect

Yeah, it's a horseshoe officially. The ring road bus tootles along the b-roads of Belle Isle to make the link, but i think the inner ring road is more worthy- being a proper dual carriageway.

Yep. Sometimes I feel the reverse in fell races - I'm not clambering up that character-building, rocky, craggy, dangerous, high mountain when I could be pootling along this nice green valley by a lovely, cooling, plashing stream.
