The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[Supersuperleeds]

Just updated my sig and I noticed this is my fifth year of doing this challenge and I've done 116 imperial rides in that time.

Thanks to @ianrauk for running the challenge and to (in no particular order) @13 rider @Lilliburlero @tallliman @Chris Doyle @Oldfentiger @EasyPeez @Pale Rider @Moodyman @Soltydog @ColinJ @cyberknight who for some I have ridden many rides with and some just one.

(I've bound to have missed some people out, it's not that you are not memorable, it's just that I have a terrible memory )

Well done y'all.

It is this damp, overcast, windy weather that does my head in and puts me off this challenge. I thought about doing a metric century today ... Nope. How about a 50-miler then, for the half century a month? Nope... Maybe it would stop raining later and I'd get a 50 km ride in? Nope. The 21-miler I needed to stop my remaining daily target creeping up? Don't be silly! Get the bike out and just go on a 2 mile round trip to the shops? You guessed it.

Hmph - Looks like I'm taking another cycling day off!

As @Lilliburlero and @13 rider have said above, December done, another 200km ensuring I've done at least one every month this year. Great company again chaps, and brilliant to catch up with @tallliman as well.

Good to see you both too!

Well done Chris.

It was a bit damp for the first 70 miles but it wasn't cold

I'm out to try and bag my first year, and my 12th ever imperial century. So far all have been solo affairs, I need to find a ride partner who likes 0600hrs starts...

Shame we aren't closer together, I love to get out as early as I can - was 06:15 this morning

It was good to meet you earlier this year & hopefully we'll ride again in 2019, might even head down your way for a century ride
& if you think your memory is bad now, just wait till you're as old as me

That's my second year done . I'd like to thank @ianrauk for running the challenge .Massive thanks to @Supersuperleeds for talking me into this challenge two years ago ,although I have cursed him at times
and thanks for the company on many of the rides and dragging me round quite a few as I flag .Also thanks to @Lilliburlero ,@tallliman and @Chris Doyle for the company aswell it makes the rides so much easier. We talked @Lilliburlero into this year's challenge and he's smashed it well done mate .Thanks to @tallliman for the routes you've planned and getting us into Leicester to Lincoln and train ride back . Roll on next year ,what am I saying

 

[tallliman]

No worries @13 rider! We've got a nice group of us which helps keep me going too! Hopefully many more rides to come next year!

Done. Suitably knackered, closest I've ever been to bonking, but also the fastest I've done 100 miles in. Roll on 2019???

 

[ianrauk]

Done.. with @rb58 . To Tiptree and back for breakie.
A lovely tailwind for the way out, a naughty headwind for the return.

So, scores on the doors.
114 Miles.
8th year done of the challenge
Imperial Century # 22 for the year
Imperial Century # 250 over all

Well done that man . That's a superb effort to go from no centuries to completing the challenge is some effort all solo aswell . Hope I wasn't cursed to much during the year
