The Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge ChatZone

[Sea of vapours]

So it's either time to get the rain jackets out, or we'll only have three entrants to the challenge this year!

Here in the Dales there has not been a single day so far where I deemed the ice risk to be 'very low or better'. Today is warm but very wet. Tomorrow is very wet. Then Wednesday looks to be cold again, at about 3-4C, but still above freezing on the high bits, so I am hoping to get out then. Failing that, as you say, wet weather kit will be employed: not appealing :-\

im watching the weather closely but its too far ahead to get a definitive forecast, im still being gentle with the knee so i wont go out if im going to risk a fall or a miserable ride .

I’ve been putting it off because of ice. By the look of the next two weeks forecast it’ll be my first damp 100 in a long while.

Not sure which way I’m heading, but we may cross paths.

Commiserations chaps. I wouldn’t have been to head your direction this year yet. I managed one ride around Kendal and another on the Fylde. The latter is ok for a change but I miss the hills!

After finishing the Festive 500 I was in bed for a day with a cold/mild flu, which Im now suspecting has been Covid. Two weeks on and still absolutely knackered just getting through a working day and a commute ride. Hoping the weather and energy levels allow me to get one in before the end of the month.

I’m in! More ice around than I expected, but made it round safely.
