The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[Ajax Bay]

Despite leaving it till the last day of October, I decided not to keep my imperial century a month going. After my 'off' on 2 Sep (at 120+ miles) I left it as long as I could and then managed (steadily, flat and sunny) 100+km (last Friday) but 100 miles would have been too far, too early. Well done to all left 'in' for 2017.

Sorry to hear that. I think you did the right thing, getting back to full fitness before embarking on the longer ones.
Next year is just around the corner.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you've recovered enough to come back fresh for next year.

November qualifier done. Lake Vyrnwy for the fourth time this year, using the long way both there and back for the first time. Ride write up here.

Probably the right decision if extremely frustrating but you did remarkable well to recover and get the 100 km ride in

I was planning on doing mine tomorrow, but looking at the weather forecast it might have to wait a week.

November’s ride done, just 1 more to do. I’ve been very lucky with the weather this year thus far. Let’s hope it continues all the way to December.

Good stuff all you peeps getting your rides in nice and early. Moving home this weekend so no long rides for me. Planning to get it done next weekend.

Now you see, if the rules allowed stops at your homes (sic) you could have done relays and moved some of the gear

The distance is exactly 25 miles. 4 pretty easy trips

Nailed November's today, despite a very dodgy right knee which has kept me off the bike for a couple of weeks. The annual Veteran Car Run from London to Brighton. Hats off to the Penny Farthing riders, the guy on the very early Safety - the frame was made of solid cast iron, so no marginal gains there. But top prize goes to the chap on the Bone Shaker - the first one I've ever seen on the road. I really doubt he would have made it to Brighton, but hats off to him for trying! A fabulous ride - put it in your diaries for 2018.

Well that's November done. I cycled 7miles to meet some mates, did circa 48miles with them and then another 50miles on my own. Bizarelly into a chilly wind it seemed harder than it should be but its one of the freshest I've finished a long ride

November's done another Leicester to Lincoln ride and train home in the company of @Supersuperleeds and @tallliman . 119.8 miles for me a 200km for @Supersuperleeds

As @13 rider said, November done, one more month to go.
