I'm up for this I'd like to think i could do a century a month but seeing as i'm just starting out, let's not get too big for our boots yet

As you asked nicely we will let you in be warned halfcentuyitus is very addictive

Thank you for the welcome. I'd wanted to join the challenge last year, but recovery from a bust leg and pressure from Mrs B put paid to longer rides for the early part of the year..

My first 50km in the bag . Hit the deck at 8 miles on some ice at 4mph . Thankfully no damage to the bike and just bruised elbow for me . Be careful out there . Should have waited until this afternoon but too impatient and went early that will teach me

Well done and hope the elbow isn't too painful. Good to know the bike is ok though

Yes I skillfully used my body to cushion and protect the bike

I'm going to endeavor to do a half century ride per month this year, I at least have a decent bicycle now more suited to that purpose. I'm in the States, so I may miss January and February due to inhospitable weather.

Glad to hear both you and the bike are ok.

I shall have another go at this. It all went pear shaped in November as the weather was filthy and I wasn't well.

Welcome back I wondered what happened to you last year . You had done so well until Nov

Glad you are okay. Get yourself some ice tyres and put them on the hybrid

I managed to bag my first metric half last September and clocked up 11 more before the end of the year, just got to repeat that spread out over the year (bagged my first today).

 

[HertzvanRental]

Yep, I shall give it a whiz!
