The 2026 Imperial Century a Month Challenge thread is on the forum now. The 20th year.
We had 5 entrants for 2025 and 5 finishers.
It would be great if we can get more riders.
Sign up folks, it's only one ride a month

Im thinking of trying the metric century challange again but it depends on the weather and how my knee goes . I can always swap to the lunacy challenge if necessary .

Chance'd be a fine thing. This time last year I was going to sign up for the 50k a month, but failed before I even started by not getting a ride in January. Every single time I had opportunity, the weather was crap, or someone needed me to do something else last minute, or just couldn't motivate myself. Looking at my records I only managed 4 rides the whole year that weren't commutes or nipping to the shops! A grand total of 413 miles, only 115 of which were just going for a ride. 😢

So challenge is, go for more rides.

My advice would be go for the longest one you can in January as you can always fall back into a lower distance challenge if you fail to get a longer ride in that month but a ride long enough for the lower challenge. If the weather is terrible in Jan or you don't like riding in winter the lunacy challenges are for you as you don't need to do a ride every month
