It was a bad bug. Not just a bug. Lol
And i didnt come here to get knocked.

Some of us recognise humour when we see it.

"Health warning bollocks", hey? It isn't bollocks to the 2750 families who lose someone to skin cancer in the UK every year. It isn't bollocks to point out that sunburn is the primary cause of skin cancer.

You might find yourself terribly amusing, Jason, but the rest of us just hear you talking about your favourite subject again: yourself.

Ive not read this for a while but it's so frustrating to see this thread going down the pan! If you want to continue the pointless tit for tat just pass phone numbers over PM and give each other a bell! Just leave it off here will ya!

Anyway, my efforts for the 100@20 are stepping up a few levels. Did a 42 in 1hr 58 and a few 50's at 19.8/19.9 average.
What sort of elevation gain are you guys riding over the course of a 100?

Don't rightly know, as my on-bike widget doesn't record this, but rest assured, just east of Ipswich is pretty flat.

Just by means of a quick update on progress on the challenge. Today I went out for an early ride and managed 60 miles with an average of 20.5mph. Previous best was 56 miles at 20.1mph, so a little further and a little faster.

I probably could have managed a little longer today too, next step for me will be 80 miles I think and if I can conquer that at a 20 ave. then it will be on to the 100

I would just like to say that I only averaged 12.5 mph on my recent century ride, so it may be some time before I achieve this particular goal!

(In my defence - I did treat myself to some long breaks, made numerous photo-stops, chatted to other riders, and tackled some steep hills in the Cotswolds. I reckon it would have been 15 mph if I had been trying a bit harder and maybe 16-17 mph on flatter terrain. Still - the difference between 15 mph and 20 mph on a bike is huge. This year is all about getting back into cycling. Next year can be a bit more challenging. )
