The 2021 Half Century (50km or 50m) a month challenge Chatzone

[Jenkins]

I'll definitely be in for the 50k, but don't know about the 50 mile challenge thanks to shift changes at work due to Br**it

 

[AndreaJ]

I will give it another go.

I was going to give this one a miss this year after the disappointment of missing out last year (well that will be right in another hour and 55 minutes) especially after having a pretty good haul of points due to change of work habits but faint heart and all that so I'm in again.

Here we go again

I've started the ball rolling did my standard 50km loop out to Wymeswold on the board for 2021

I'll be back in as usual albeit I hope we get a bit more freedom to ride further afield this year.

I think I'll give this a go. There, I've said it now!

This will be the kick up the backside I need to be regularly getting out on the bike again. I have seriously lost my mojo the last few YEARS!

I have a question though. If I say I'm doing the 50 mile challenge, but do less one month, but still more than 50km, am I out or is this acceptable?

 

[Slick]

That's me up and running after a few months away. I've moved house but not far as it's just a couple of miles further along my usual 50k loop. Although it was weird getting round to where I used to live and having to keep going. I nearly turned back a couple of times and got off and walked a bit when I saw quite a big guy coming down the hill losing his footing and coming down on his dog.

Anyway, great day for a ride but caution was the order of the day so it was the slowest 50k I've done in a long time.

Welcome @Pizza Man
Answer to your question the minimum required to complete the challenge is 1 50km ride a month ,if you decide to challenge yourself to do 50 miles a month but fail to complete the full year you are still in the challenge if you carry on completing 50km rides
Good luck ,the challenge does give you bit of motivation to get out on the bike

Looks like I've beaten @Jon George for the honours of the first Suffolk contribution to the 50k challenge.

The past couple of years I've somehow managed a metric 100 on New Year's Day, but it was just too cold & icy early on to even think about it today.

Same here the last 3 years I've started the year with an imperial ton but didn't get out till 11.00 waiting for the roads to clear .
Yes poor show by @Jon George I'd have put money on him beating me to the post

 

[Jon George]

I'm in the game!
Sorry for the delay - had a three egg omelette before posting.

Possibly. Some time this year I'm going to decide to yell out 'Jenkins?' to every male rider I see. I should strike lucky eventually.

After last year's embarrassing failure the only right and proper thing to do is have another go. Here's hoping I can post a ride in the not too far distant.
