Thanks for the heads up but I've now done a couple of qualifying runs. Just need to update them which I will do over the weekend.

Just seen @Ice2911 thread on the four cardinal points of the UK tour he's doing so it's fairly save to presume he's done a qualifying ride

 

[steverob]

Yeah, I’ve been prevented from getting out on my bike this month by various issues, including injuries and mechanical problems. I’m hoping everything is all back to normal by the weekend and I can finally get a ride done.

Another ride for me - report in Your Ride Today...

I'll update the challenge thread and add the points once I find out how many I get for a metric century!

Thank you for the reminder. Having been away, I was stuffed, but I am hoping for a qualifying ride on one of the next three days.

 

[Rob and Alison]

Thanks for the reminder, another slack month mileage wise, but we did manage to get a 50km ride with Stig last weekend, now posted.
Just got to post the 'In Memory of Tommy' audax to the 100km thread now.

I had forgotten to do my actual 50 km ride! (I am not using my longer rides for this challenge.)

I went out this evening and did it when it was a bit cooler. I had intended to do four lumpy 7 km loops up on the tops, with the other 22 kms coming from the ride up there and back afterwards. I changed my mind after doing the nasty 15+% sections to get up there and went off on a more interesting ride with an easy finish.

Well, it was a case of either hiding inside all day from the heat or do something productive. So decided to get out early (for me) and do another ride for July before it got too hot. 23 degrees at the start but had got up to 29.5 by the time I got home. I think that's me done for the day.

I have done some rides but I have not been on here much recently and am very behind with all my regular CC threads.
So much to catch up on.
Off to Cornwall tomorrow and I will gradually update all my challenges.

Yes! Only just, with time running out I was getting worried. I added some extra miles after the last 2 club runs. I have missed a lot of riding time over the last few months due to various reasons.
I have photos waiting to update the thread.
