Hi Guys, hope you don't mind me joining your challenge ..... I did 109 miles on the 10th of January with Kajsa Tylen in Essex. We stopped at Bicicletta _ well recommended if you are ever in Saffron Walden. It was a cold but nice day

I was aiming for the 100 km but it appears i cant convert in my head from miles and did 96 km , Doh !

Very muddy roads and a puncture just after the 50 mile mark didnt stop me from going out of my way , sedate club run ride but at least it wasnt freezing cold .

Looks like I've fallen at the first hurdle....

I was going to to do the 50 mile a month challenge on the tandem with Mrs Dave.
She has had bronchitis since before Christmas, still has a slight cough.
Since the weekend of the 16th Jan I've had a chest infection and a virus, I'm signed off til the end of the week.

Later in the year I've a week in Mallorca on a lads ycling holiday, a week tandeming in Holland and a week tandeming in France so I/we need to get fit for late March.

Good luck to all the non failures!

Cracking weather today. Inspired to do a longer run so did what I call the "Nonington Loop" - 50.4 miles. I think I get two points for that!
