The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[Racing roadkill]

I see the 2019 thread is up already, and it's not even Christmas yet
I'll do a tentative placing of hat in ring for next year, I found 2018 tough but maybe that was because I did all 3 challenges.

But if you did the imperial, you’d automatically have done the other 2 by default.

He`s had a go at doing all 3 challenges without double posting rides. @13 rider does it and I joined in this year. You could call it " The Challenge Challenge".

Yep, it's all @13 rider fault You can't count a ride in more than 1 challenge. I only did metric half centuries this year, I think others may have done imperial half rides. Not sure I have the legs for that..

Here is a sketch of my longer UK rides this year, most of which have been part of meeting this challenge. I have ridden in the north, but not long ones.

 

[Lilliburlero]

I've done the imperial and metric with no double-counting for the past three years. I planned to try all three this year but fell at the first hurdle when I failed to fit in the the "50" ride for Jan.

It was a tough start to the year with some silly weather... loads of ice and snow. You did well to get both the imperial and metric rides done in the first few months.

Sorry everyone

That’s another year’s imperial a month challenge in the bag then. A very hilly, quite windy 100 miler up to Woking and back today. The road conditions were horrific on the back roads. The wind stayed away until the last 20 odd miles as well.

@mangid get's a gold star for the first time too though he get's a little ticking off for not reading the rules about just posting links and only posting the rides in November

Woops, feeling properly chasened, got overly excited and yes didn't read the rules overly closely

We are still waiting for a few riders to complete 2018's challenge with a December ride. @StuAff @Racing roadkill @BromyG so fingers crossed peeps. . . . . . .

Hopefully @BromyG can get a first one too

Had a few aborted attempts due to bad weather, and also December has been so busy! Will try again to complete the challenge in the few days after Christmas!

Fingers crossed for good weather.

I finally figured out a way of doing the same. The map shows just the 12 challenge rides:

I'm still hoping to find a day for the second December qualifying ride, which would mean 25 consecutive months of doubling up. I have authorisation, but sadly this doesn't extend to Christmas Day for which the forecast was quite good last time I looked.

On the logging thread is a map of my 2018 imperials, below shows all my imperials.

Rather than buying a half-price sofa or somesuch, went for a ride. 100.2 miles. 84th consecutive month of centuries.

Excellent well done

Well done Stu. I knew you would complete this year's challenge.
