Way to go @ray2602 three in three days .You are making me feel bad at the weekend I did 29 miles and just could not be bothered to add the extra 4 miles to do 50km. I think you are winning the points total and you must be on target for your milage total

I missed out on a half metric century today ...

My GPS batteries ran flat mid-ride. I guesstimated how far I had ridden and thought it would be about 51 km by the time I got home. I would have done a few more kms just to make sure, but it started raining so I dashed back. I just checked on my digital map and my ride was only 48.5 km.

Oh well - I am 621 km (386 miles) ahead of my target for this point in the year so I am not complaining!

I've been getting a bit blasé about these rides, as I've been on school hols I've managed 3 longer rides this month and the last two were 47 miles and I was happy. I didn't feel any pressure to extend them to make an imperial 50!

I have now completed 3442 miles, so that means that I am 200 miles ahead of schedule, I would like to build up a buffer of 500 miles as winter is coming too quickly, the last couple of days i have been practicing riding in the rain, because I am bound to get rained on during my LEJOG attempt next year, Luckily I have a lot of annual leave and pre-retirement leave to take between now and February.

I had to drop out of this challenge due to upper back problems. After various medical investigations, I think I've finally discovered that the cause was a new settee! (A couple of cushions to force me to sit up straight appears to removed the pain. ) So, yesterday, I celebrated with a 50km ride to Debenham and back. Sign me up for next year!

38 miles today and 52 miles on Friday, which was also my first solo 50. I'll edit my post later when I get back onto the pc, as it's so long now, it's harder to edit on the Hudl.

Well done everyone for getting this far, nearly there!
I would never have predicted that I would have done so many of these rides or have the confidence to even do my first metric century only 2 weeks ago.

Good luck with your November and December rides.

Sorry..... I've got a few rides to log but to be honest, my rides are all very similar so there's no much point to log them. I did do one that was completely new though so I might post that.

As long as you post one qualifying ride per calendar month to stay in the challenge!

50 very chilly kilometres logged on Saturday - decidedly cold feet by the end (will definitely need to look out my overshoes for December's ride!)
