The 2016 Half Century (50 KM or 50 Mile) A Month Challenge - Chatzone

[13 rider]

I will ger my old bones off the couch and give this a go. Ive just bought my first Carbon road bike so 50 km will only take 10 minutes.

I will Jannie involved as well.

How do we record them each month?

@ColinJ first post on page one has the link to the challenge thread then a link to the 2015 challenge for examples of how we posted last year
Good luck for 2016

Count me in for this please, I need a challange.

Count me in again @ColinJ . Enjoyed the challenge and it motivates me to get out and do longer rides, when otherwise maybe I wouldn't have bothered if the weather was a bit dicey, etc. I'm hoping to get some more 50 milers in this time, as only managed 1 in 2015

I didn't get many 50 milers in this year either. Whenever I motivated myself to do 50 miles, I managed to squeeze at least the extra 12 miles in as well which qualified those rides for the metric century challenge instead.

I think there will be times in 2016 when I will ride 50 miles, especially in the winter months when daylight hours are short and metric centuries seem harder.

Definitely trying for this in 2016.

Looking forward to this . I`ll be going for the 50km a month.

Good luck and happy riding to all CC`ers in on the challenge

When do I get enough privileges to add a report to the appropriate thread?

Obviously not got a report yet but was just wondering as I'm not sure how all this works yet.

Sorry if this is a dumb question!

I'm in for this one in 2016.
I did the 100 mile a month challenge for 2015 which was good fun, but this time round I'm roping in Mrs Dave and we'll be doing it on the tandem.
There might be a bit of a problem in September when I'm scheduled to be touring around France for the whole month, so Mrs Dave will be excused (unless she gets her road bike out..... Fat chance!)

Edit- forgot to say.... Miles!

It has been locked by the mods until Jan 1st. I will remind them to unlock it then, if they do not remember to do it.

I am. The weather aint looking too bad for the South of Derbyshire so fingers crossed

"Friday:
After a frosty start, New Yea'rs Day should see some good sunny spells through the morning. Increasingly cloudy during the afternoon, with some rain likely in the south by evening. Maximum Temperature 7°C."

It won't happen new years day for me, we have a party with friends tonight and are going to a prosecco breakfast type thingy with them all at a local tomorrow, so I doubt I will be able to even find my bike until Saturday!!

Nice one...your route held a touch of nostalgia for me as you almost went by where I used to live around 20 years ago!
