The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[Dave 123]

Something extra spicy might give you some extra speed tomorrow though!

I don't envisage that going at all well.....

Well. with last nights night ride from Cambridge to home, that complete's 2015's challenge for both myself and @rb58

So a

for me and a

for him.....for both of us, 5 complete challenge years (I would have had 6 but missed out 1 month in 2010 *kicks oneself*

And only a few weeks until 2016's challenge... bring it on..

Handed back the overtime for today, but weather does not suit a ride. And I won't be riding tomorrow, gig in London tomorrow night makes that difficult/impossible (enough early mornings at the moment). Early forecasts for next weekend not looking good either. Urk. Might be 26/27th for me too at this rate.
Well done everyone who's made it 12/12 already, fingers crossed for everyone else.

 

[rb58]

So. @jiberjaber, shall we add your name to the list for 2016?

I'm off work next 3 days & was hoping to get mine in, but after a 48 mile struggle this morning, not sure I'm upto a ton at the mo Although today's struggle could have been down to excessive drinks last night & no breakfast before setting off
I'm still undecided on next years challenge. These winter tons are a real test, so I'll see how January pans out with time off & the weather

December done and my second star in the bag

I've done 22 imperial centuries this year, but as can be seen from the heatmap below I tend to follow the same roads, next year I want to go ride on some different roads, but sometimes what you know seems easier.

Will put a full write up on the your ride today thread.

Well done Chris......

Another year, another gold star for you

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Well done Chris......

Another year, another gold star for you

Cheers, I was cursing you and this challenge today, still got the cold and didn't really want to ride but had to get this challenge done

 

[Dave 123]

That's me done. I couldn't be arsed going too far from home today as the weather is a bit rubbish. The Gamlingay loop I have done for the past 2 weekends is 25 miles.... So I did 4 of them! There's a lot to be said for quiet rural roads!

 

[ianrauk]

Well done Dave. Welcome to the club. Here you go

I went out early yesterday on my own to get my last ride of the year done. I didn't really feel like it, but having been doing this for 5 years, I know that once I was on the bike all would be good.
I decided to do a flat ride down to Ashford and followed some very familiar quite roads to keep it simple. Unfortunately it was raining all the way to Ashford, but it was quite warm, so not too uncomfortable. Almost exactly at the 50 mile point I found a MacDonalds which was perfect for a quick turnaround. The wind was more favourable on the return and the rain stopped as well so my average picked up a bit too.
That bought to an end my 5th year of this challenge. Roll on 2016!

 

[ianrauk]

Here you go @Trickedem

Well done mate.. roll on 2016.

 

[ianrauk]

Just a thought as 2015 draws to an end and we earn another star on our signature. How about having a special star with a five, for those of us who will have completed five years of this challenge

Like this for instance
