The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[redfox]

Is this chatzone for the metric people as well?

Yes

Good: I'd like sympathy for the fact that I've only just got back on the back since a pre New Year bug and am going to struggle to put in enough miles. WIll just make it before end of Jan I think with a potentially painful 64 miler.

The first one is often the hardest, pick a nice flat route and take your time!

Well 45 miles of it are flat and the rest has a 300/400m of ascent but it's a familiar route to me so I know where to save myself for. I've got next week to just build up, my muscles seem not to have lost much but my CV fitness and energy levels are still down after the virus so I don't want to push it too much which means I will probably jump from a 30 mile ride straight to the 64. At least Feb should be easier

Ah, found you all again - I thought CAMC wasn't on Bikeradar because there were no takers for the 100 milers. Silly me.

So it was off to Northallerton and back for #37, caught out by my favourite pit-stop, the White Horse Cafe in Thirsk, being closed. I had to make do with some custard effort from Greggs, which ran out well short of Leeds.

Well it looks like I'm bowing out of the imperial before I've even started.
My plan was to do one this weekend but Im being extra cautious as I could feel the very beginings of my itbs coming back last week (whilst mashing up hill on the mtb that was confined to the big chainring )
And next weekend I'm doing the Hell of the Ashdown and doubt I'll be up for adding another 25 miles after the ride and the cycle to and from the station.
Poor showing.B)

Yes please, Rob. Where do I collect them from?

[Crackle]

Well I've fallen at the first. Still haven't shaken this virus off and some committments in Feb mean it's looking dubious as well.

To be fair, last year was my first year back on the bike after 10 years off so I think I'll aim a bit lower this year and think about it next. It was a nice thought but....

Well, I'm sorry to sound thick - no, I'm sorry to be thick - but I can't see any
stars on his or anyone else's posts. Mind you yesterday I had my Eye Test reminder from Boots, so are they just really really small?

I shall make do with keyboard asterisks until I find out how to do big yellow pulsating ones.
