Yesterday saw me head to Llangollen for my June qualifier. It was dull and overcast but the forecast was dry. It's summer, so I removed the mudguards, therefore it rained, repeatedly 
Progress was slow but steady with stops in Chester to refuel and then in Trevor to see the narrow boats and the aqua-duct before arriving n Llangollen. 108 miles duly completed

OK, half way through 2022 and we still have 8 riders still in the challenge.

@Tribansman hasn't been seen on Cycle Chat since May. So hoping he is ok and still riding and doing the challenge.

July done. I had a good day DNFing the Way to the Sea Audax. I wrote a bit about it here https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/ach-the-way-to-the-sea-2022.284676/page-2#post-6762116

I had intended to get my July ride in tomorrow. Unfortunately I tested positive for covid this morning.
I'm really hoping for a mild dose and to be back on the bike quickly.

This is very true. I'll see how it goes.
Please rest up and ensure you’re fully fit before embarking on a ride of that magnitude. Covid is not just a cold to get over.

Sorry to hear this dear chap. Fingers crossed for a quick and easy recovery and a qualifying ride later in the month.

No, only 75% but 8/10 controls. Was just too exhausted after 5 nights mostly wild camping and very dead/cold feet and hands. If I'd not have got lost/made a couple routing errors (a good half day or more wasted) and had been much nearer to Ulpha on day 4 I might have got round with one more night and riding into the night Tuesday night back into Sheffield. I wasn't really riding at night. Was 11/20 rookies.
I did about 850km and 10100m of my 1100km and 13500m route. we had to start/finish in Sheffield and visit 10 controls but routing decisions all our own and no help/conferring allowed.
