In that case maybe you shouldn't disappoint her by being too careful!! :cuppa:


...so... to the point! Why starting your century challenge in October? What's wrong with September? :popcorn:


Just had a look back through Garmin, I've had (only) 4 eligible 100k rides this year in April, May and then 2 in August (I was hoping the earlier August one was in July so I already had 2 months in the bag :cry:). I'm intending to get another one in this weekend for September so do I post them all for 2013 including the gap, or do I just start from August? Or start all over again?? Decisions, decisions...

I think you go back to 0 if you miss a month. So I'd say you should start from August.. Just go out this weekend to avoid losing your 2 points! Or if you lack motivation pop in to Bedford and join me! :cuppa:
I'm going for a nice, hilly 117km tomorrow (gorgeous route as well..)

Cool, tomorrow should be doable so starting from August - isn't Bedford a van...?!?

Ah! It looks like you joined then! :becool:Cool!

Yes, actually it is, :crazy: but if I were you I'd stick with the VW Camper, as it's highly unlikely to become a "classic" any time soon... :cheers:

Yeah, just sneaked one in on Sunday by joining the club's "long, fast" weekend ride (which for them probably wasn't very long or fast) - man that was hard! Not helped by another puncture and being stuck in the big ring... :sweat: At least the weather was good. Thinking I might try and sneak another one in early October so I get it over with, before the weather turns...

Aww the wee Bedford vans were still cute and had that element of "britishness" about them, and you see the odd one knocking about - surprised they're still going!

See, when I put "britishness" and "cute" together the image flashing in my head is more something like that:

Not the exactly the Bedford van. But I can be fussy like that! lol

I'm sure a Bedford Van would come in handy when your stuck at the side of the road in your cute, british car...

I'll keep a note of the date - get up that morning and look out your window for something vintage parked in your driveway wrapped in a giant ribbon! (*loads ebay search for 2nd hand Bedford vans, any condition, and directions to Bedford*)

I'd buy it now and keep it for next year if I were you.. looks like a real bargain*, well worth the investment! :reading:
