Today's 50km ride saw me complete my own challenge of each month riding a separate 100 mile ,100 km, 50 mile and 50km ride and completed 3 years of doing the half century double of a 50 km and 50 mile rides and also sawme through 10000 miles for the year so all in all a good day

So what have you left yourself with for 2018? 600k Audax?
Possible same again but have a mad idea of adding a 200km ride each month aswell
I assume you are retired or have an accommodating boss?
No full time job just have no family ties so time mine alone

Going up to Grange tomorrow, fingers crossed to get my December 50k in on Saturday. Full of the sniffles so lots of layers and a simple Grange-Arnside-Grange for 34 miles and join Mrs Domus for lunch in Arnside. She will let the train take the strain.

That's why I think I should be having a go at the metric century!
It's possible to do both . If I was you I'd see if you can get a metric century done in Jan and go from there you can always fall back into the half century . You'd do it easily go for it

Thanks. It's all about the January, that's for sure. Unlike you, I have to fit longer rides in carefully.

Great idea, I'll join you for the 200km, but it will be my imperial qualifying ride, no way I'm doing both

Well, if so you may as well do it officially as a RRtY?

I'll admit that I've been tempted by the metric century challenge - however I know that I'll struggle with time as much as anything.
I can ride a metric half in 2.5 hours if I stick to a flattish route, but to do a metric century I need double that (oddly enough!) and having 5+hours to spare (or more likely 6 hours including a stop) for a ride just isn't always possible. on top of all the other commitments that life throws at you.
Don't get me wrong, Mrs ND is supportive of my cycling but I don't want to push that support by taking the mickey.

Phew! After a fortnight of a cold that wouldn't really burn itself out, I decided yesterday to make the most of the forecast of sunny weather today to crawl over the line. The ride was made even more 'interesting' because I awoke to find I was suffering from the D part of D&V. (The after-effects of my cold and current aliment may go some way to explain why I kept close to home.
)
At least the sun was out and I can now claim my second trophy.
