The 2020 Half century (50km or 50m) a month Chatzone

[AndreaJ]

Just finished the last one for this month, will post them altogether later.

 

[Slick]

The end of the month has crept up unnoticed so a very late update . We have 26 riders fully posted up leaving 5 riders up to date for July yet to post ,so a nudge for @Sbudge ,@Slick ,@slow scot ,@Houthakker and finally @lane
While typing the list something seemed to be missing ,then I realised @cosmicbike wasn't on it as he had actually updated without a nudge

I've finally updated the thread with the biggest points haul I've managed to date because of lockdown and work but it appears it's the end of the road for me as I will be very unlikely to get any other rides in this month after my crash and planned OP to repair my knee. Shame.

Any updates on whether you will actually need the op?

Unbelievably they can't OP without an MRI scan and they can't do that as they can't find a radiographer, apparently.

Hope you mend quickly @Slick and they medics get their act together

No problems @AndreaJ , I had read your posts in your ride today thread so I knew you got a ride in

All updated, as ever, thanks for the nudge.

Got out with none other than @tallliman for a partial Leicestershire CC section meet up and social potter through the lanes of south Nottinghamshire, stopping at Hickling Wharf for a cake and coffee. Weather good, route good (and just done on the fly as opposed to pre planned) and even managed a couple of tile grabs.
It was nice to have a catch up and chinwag with @tallliman as I’d not seen him for quite a few months and we had discussed many things including next year’s potential riding plans and some helpful touring pointers!

I hadn’t ridden outdoors for a couple of weeks due to other commitments however having churned up quite a few points early on in the month, this was a nice finish all the same.

 

[tallliman]

I cant add anything to that but only a single point for me and perhaps some commission from my lbs!!

Great ride out today and great to catch up!

I’ll keep you posted on that!

Surely I cant be the first one to complete a ride this month?

I was undecided as to what to do today but eventually convinced myself to ride. Out the door and onto the commuting route for a few miles. Turned right near Tonge to pass through Diseworth then up to Kegworth. At 16 miles in under an hour I thought I may as well do 50k! So upto Gotham village and East Leake before wending my way home.

A quick blast on the Pickenflick flatbar in very pleasant conditions this afternoon to get the 50k ride in nice & early. As before, I'll update the main ride thread when I've got the 50 miler done as well - that may be some time as the return to full time work and having things to do on non-working weekends is playing havoc with my social mileage. With the exception of a 50k ride yesterday, I've done no riding except for three weeks worth of commuting since completing the 100k chalenge ride at the start of August.

[Jon George]

@Jon George was the first to post

Confession time: I know this challenge is about encouraging more, and longer, rides, but I still found myself rushing to the PC to enter my result. (I was practically still in my bib-shorts.) I tell myself it's not a competition, but some instincts obviously run deep ...

September ride done, new route to a new (to me) coffee shop in Plumgarth near Kendal. Rinaldo’s, takeaway only but a couple of tables outside and a cake shop next door
The owner is a cyclist and they have a very smart jersey for sale.
The route back to Grange was by way of a cycle path through Kendal then Natland to Sizergh. Very nice too 👍
