The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

Now that's a corker of an idea.

I'll plan it for June or July. First sunday of the month.

@Eddie_C @redfalo @Michael Adu , From Purley Tesco to Brighton and back is 86 miles, so if you cycle from and back to home you will get your RRTY mileage.

I got the March qualifier in nice and early this month ( last Friday).

216 Km's ( 134 odd miles ) up to Brighton and back. I made the mistake of using the A27 past Shoreham, and into Brighton via the high part of Hove. Getting stuck in lane 2 of a 3 lane A road, with a truck behind you, is not great. Anyway I made it okay, and took the more scenic route back.

Bet you won't do that again in a hurry- me neither, brief section between Arundel and Chi in January was more than enough! East of Pompey it's a motorway in all but name.
Nice one on the ride, obv.!

 

[StuAff]

How's this for an idea?
@Racing roadkill and @StuAff cycle to Brighton. Myself, @martint235 , @rb58 & @Trickedem @redfalo , @Michael Adu , @Eddie_C , @Dogtrousers , also cycle to Brighton.
A Century meet up ride...

Splendid idea. Might just remember that route

 

[redfalo]

Sounds great. First Sunday ilin June could work for me, July won't.

 

[rb58]

Both June and July work for me.

 

[Dogtrousers]

First Sunday in June is the Ditchling Devil. I'm not signed up for it (yet) ... just sayin'. I can't do Jul.

 

[StuAff]

Forgot to add, first weekends in both June & July work for me.

 

[martint235]

I'd like to do the Ditchling Devil but not that fussed so both June and July currently work for me.

 

[ianrauk]

OK, Don't want to get mixed up with the Ditchling Devil (I'd like to do it too.. @redfalo you up for this as well?)...
so I will put it in the diary for Sunday July 3rd for the Cyclechat Imperial Century Challenge meet up ride.

@Eddie_C @Michael Adu @StuAff @Racing roadkill @rb58 @martint235 @rb58

I'll pencil it in my diary too if you don't mind a northern monkey joining you It'll be nice to put a few faces to names. Just need to sort accommodation out & a pass from Mrs S

And out of interest what do you class as Northern? There's people on here from Watford that claim their neighbours are polar bears

Thought the rule was anything north of Watford Gap was northern & I believe the Gap is actually south of Watford?
