ColinJ replied to the thread The 2026 Half Century (50km or 50 mile) a month challenge chatzone.I wouldn't cut it that fine - your distance reading might accidentally flip over onto 50.00 miles as you are dismounting, then you would have to ride another 12.13 miles to end up on the next nearest shortfall - 99.99 km! :okay: -

My next ride target is 49.99 miles -
Are we coming into Newburgh in Aberdeenshire? Or maybe leaving heading north.

In need of cables, rear tyre cargo box. Not a typo. £1:17! Geezer presumed it was trash. I feel slightly guilty.

ColinJ replied to the thread FLAT 100 km (62 mile) ride from Garforth, Saturday 4th July, 2026.Oh well, it would probably have been very difficult to make sure that crossed the same point at the same time anyway. Enjoy your LEJOG! I had an overnight stay at The County in Carnforth when I rode an extended version of The Bay Way with a pal.

ColinJ replied to the thread FLAT 100 km (62 mile) ride from Garforth, Saturday 4th July, 2026.Super. That's 3 of us so far. It would be nice to get (say) 6-8 in total, so I will return to the thread at least a couple more times to try to stimulate interest. For those of you might be up for the ride but are super-fussy about what surfaces...

ColinJ replied to the thread The 2026 Half Century (50km or 50 mile) a month challenge chatzone.That doesn't surprise me. Unless you stick very close to the bottom of the Colne Valley, you inevitably encounter lots of lumpiness. The climb out of Nelson on the return leg of the Season of Mists audax was always a tough grind with tired legs...

An accidental half century yesterday! It was a somewhat labyrinthine route taking in Burlnley, Colne, and all points between and in peripheries doing various chores and visiting peeps. Had just finished drying off (for the fourth time) and was...

I'm doing the Ride to the Sun on 22nd June, 100miles from Carlisle to Cramond finishing about 0200 at Cramond Beach in Edinburgh. It's only 4000ft of ascent so pretty flat for the distance. I've done it a couple of times and it's usually my...
