[Billy Adam]

now you've got me.....not a clue ! You have TAG first from the main entrance, then FSI is further round to the east.

Yeah that whole site was the royal aircraft establishment.

Haven't got a chance of doing that many miles, so why does my finger keep hovering over the join button lol

Because you want to try.

Go for it. Something to aim for.

Indeed, the worst that happens is that you do not complete it. But let's say you got to 50%, you'd be your own biggest fan

Just over 27 miles each day! You might as well sign up for it, there are badges for 25%, 50% and 75%

Might as well give it a try it's not as if they shoot you or anything if you don't make it

I think 50% would be a good target for me, but this weather is going to have to improve!

Don't sell yourself short Simmi. (Although 75% might be a realistic target for me)

 

[Goldcoast]

I'm in & at least it will give me that extra kick on days the weather is not that great.

 

[RWright]

I'll sign up but it probably a little far for me, mind once everyone has moved in I might be out a lot more well an extra hr or so on current figures that would up my mileage to about 40 miles a day out as the current average for this year is 26miles (or just over 40Km Reece), also looking at year figures I am finally approaching 14mph avg (last year it was 13.1mph) only a small difference in weekly mileage of 113.45 (last year 113.99), I need to up that a little to make my target of 6,000 miles this year.
Though I have ridden 40% of the distance I did in the 6 months I was riding last year.

Maybe you will get the time, if not I have seen you do those distances without breaking a sweat.

I'm seriously tempted to try for the 25%, it would involve me doing the same amount of miles in a month that I've done since starting cyling but it will keep me motivated if the weathers not great

Back in Oct/Nov, mind I did 537miles last month, and todays 35 miles was interesting if a little slow at one point a good 12 miles of the 2nd ride was into a slight headwind, which is why I picked up speed after 18 miles, a lot of up and down bits.

I did 10 miles into Wakefield earlier.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

You know your improving when what you thought was an ok speed now seems slow.

 

[Boon 51]

I'm keen to push the averages along too.
I was glad to do the 100k with only a tired bum and not a sore one and tired legs not sore legs as well.. my only concern was I used 2830 calories add to that my daily usage and that's a lot of calories to put back when you weight just 10st 2lbs..
