The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[Rickshaw Phil]

I am going to attempt to not do an imperial century in January and lumber myself with them for the rest of the year!

(I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for no unseasonably fine weather, or I might be tempted to do something foolish like tackling my 100+ mile route to Lytham and back ... )

Booooo hisssss. (Well, it is panto season ).

Hmmm. Those following Steve Abraham's progress are certainly hoping for a bit of this!

I was joking, of course - the sooner we get some decent weather, the better!

I can't see anybody riding in the UK ever beating the Coker record, unless they got a remarkably mild, dry and wind-free year.

Well done to all completing the challenge this year & thanks to Ian for organising the challenge. Sadly I didn't get a qualifying ride in October, still planned to do Nov & Dec, but with a combination of the weather & not feeling too great, don't think I've done a ride of over 40 miles in last couple of months Still don't think I'm up for a century at present, but have 2 weeks off work from Thursday, so get a nice day & we'll see what happens
Here's hoping for many long & safe rides for all in 2018


edit, it was actually September that I didn't get a qualifying ride in, (time flies) did manage a ton in October but that was the last one

Right then. It's 2018. Time to get this year's challenge on the go. Off to meet @Trickedem for this months qualifying ride.
See's ya laters.

Quick update. 60 miles in. 3 hours of rain and it's cold. Struggled to find an establishment open and selling food. The Black Horse in Pluckey is our saviour. Warming up next to a radiator with a pint and a burger.

I walked in the door and the missus told me the car had a flat tyre, took me an age to get it off, emergency tyre is now on it and she gets the job of sorting it tomorrow.

Anyway 125 miles done for me and 2018 is a go. 49th consecutive month of imperials for me
