April's qualifier done and my longest ride to date.

January - 102.81 miles (165.42km) 1 point
February - 103.2 miles ((166.04km) 2 points
March - 104.02 miles (167.36km) 3 points
April - 115.13 miles (185.24km) 4 points

Well done, but didn't we decide that you were actually doing the IMPERIAL century a month challenge?

Hope @Donger doesn't take this as too much of a shock but I've done my 100k for April already !

A change of route and an increase in climbing and distance. 117km

[Donger]

Nearly failed today, but just about got round despite a heavy knock to my kneecap in the first mile and an impromptu repair to a broken saddle clamp when still 25 miles from the finish . Rode to and from, and completed, the 60 mile "Paris-Roubaix 2015 Rob Willmott Memorial Ride " with @Dark46....... 105km.
Added to 3 audaxes in Jan-March above, that's 4pts in all, and I'm still in (just).

 

[ColinJ]

24th Jan: Hebden Bridge to the summit of Waddington Fell and back. 100 km (and change!), 1 point. RIDE REPORT.

25th Feb: 2 loops from Hebden Bridge, 100 km, 1 point. RIDE REPORT.

10th Mar: Hilly loop including Buckstones, 100 km, 1 point, RIDE REPORT.

14th Apr: My (postponed, due to bad weather) SITD ride, 114 km, 1 point. RIDE REPORT.

Total of the qualifying rides (that I am using in this challenge***) so far this year: 414 km, 4 points.

(*** I am also doing the Half Century A Month Challenge, the idea being that I typically need a bit of extra motivation Nov-Feb. I might not manage to get 2 metric centuries in during those months, so the extra challenge is to motivate me to add at least some distance on to my usual shorter rides. I might occasionally choose to enter a 'spare' metric century as 2 half-centuries in the other challenge instead.)
