The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[rb58]

I'll be doing a century a month as well this year on my way to my 5,000 miles target for the year. Was 180 miles short on 2010 as a result of the snow.

Tim - if you need some company on any of your rides, give me a shout.
Cheers

asc1951 was going to put a new thread up and i don't want to tread on his toes by putting one up before he does.

Sorry - I'll see to it.

I'm a bit teed off at the moment. I was absolutely fine all the way round my December 100, but couldn't walk the next day and am told by the rheumatologist last week that I am riddled with osteoarthritis so monthly rides of this length are not a sensible way for a man in his 60s to spend his time. I was hoping to make it to #100, but #72 looks like my last. Buggrit!

sorry to hear that, i didn't expect to get to 100!
i can try to sort things out if you like, i've never made a sticky thread but will read up on it.
from earlier posts it may be better to make an open ended imperial century a month thread and let people have star or something to signify 12 consecutive rides.
it seems now that i'm the last one standing, well last one with several years rides, i was looking forward to the competition from you which kept me going last year.
hope you can find something to fill the gaps the rides will leave.
all the best

edit, can't find any info on making a sticky thread and can't get the contact form to work, it may be a netbook problem, will have to look into it.

I think it may be that only Mods can make a topic a sticky.

I may be up for trying this but this will all depend on the weather we're going to get as I don't fancy riding 100 miles on snow studs

 

[piedwagtail91]

i thought that would be the case but i can't get anything to work on the form to contact then , it's just a dead sort of page. i'll see if i can get it working on a another computer, otherwise just log onto the end of the 2010 then copy and paste when things are working with a new thread

 

[piedwagtail91]

please ignore my thread for the imperial century and use the one put up by asc1052, the 2011 thread .

That's right. I have asked Admin to sticky my 2011 post and unsticky the 2010 thread, but he does have a living to earn as well, so he hasn't got round to it yet.

Sorry, McShroom, that is what makes it difficult. 100 miles is a doddle most of the time.

But with only one century (ever) under my belt (and a lot of flabby stuff above the belt ) I need all the help I can get

Now done...

Sorry guys ... I've had the email for over a week, but been busy with my accounts.

If anything needs editing or someone needs unlimited editing permissions to maintain the thread, just let me know by PM and I'll sort it.

Cheers,
Shaun

Just added my January ride to the list.

Should be able to do February's next Sunday as long as the weather stays good.

There are a few others trying to do it this year so I'll point them over here to start logging their rides.

Well, I seem to be a Born Again Centurion. A steroid injection in to the knee, several sessions with the osteopath and a new cycling style and I snuck out again yesterday for #73. Despite 2degC and a very sedate pace I just about got round in daylight - so far without any ill effects.

Piedwagtail, it looks like we are still on for 100 x 100.

[redjedi]

February's 100 is out of the way early so now I can take it easy for the rest of the month

I wish I could ride a century
