[Donger]

Well, I'm still in .... but it's not getting any easier. (106km South Glos 100 Audax today, so that's 4 audaxes and 1 charity ride for me).
5 down, 7 to go. Don't expect any multiples from me!

May done and dusted
https://www.strava.com/activities/301785722
Including 2000m of climbing (well 1,982m actually). The SW wind really got up in the afternoon. Coming back over Newhey Road into a 30mph headwind was truly horrible. The only time I've been on my bike and wondered what the hell I was doing there. Modified the route to drop into Uppermill for hot chocolate and cake which perked me up

[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.

18th Apr: My (postponed, due to bad weather) Glasson Dock forum ride, (including to/from lift) 116 km, 1 point. RIDE REPORT.

3rd May: Hilly Tour de Yorkshire 'medium' sportive 113 km, 1 point, BRIEF RIDE REPORT.

(*** 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.)
