The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[HLaB]

I'm still not 80% and that was a lot longer than it should have been but taking advantage of that's May's done.

OK, last weekend of the month and a bank holiday to boot.
So, we have @cosmicbike @Ajax Bay & @Dogtrousers to log rides for May.

Extended FNRttC this Friday on the Brommie should see me home.

Duly noted, I've got a pass out for either Saturday or Sunday.

Job done. I had hoped to go quite a bit longer today, but the headwind for the last bit wiped me out and I gave up at 106 miles, was fast for me mind. Cracking ride, think I'm sunburnt, but found some wonderful roads today.
Just noticed it gave me +1 on my Eddington too, now up to 43

Well done @cosmicbike still in all the challenges

I did my May century on the 6th May. Pretty gutted that Strava rounded it down to 99.8 miles.

I probably over compensated 2 weeks later, with completion of the Bryan Chapman Memorial.

I've sort of recovered now.

A bit of over compensation !! The second ride is a EPIC ride well done

Right then, we still have 15 in the challenge.
@Mark Grant is out due to enjoying the high life and @redfalo is out due to an unfortunate cycle injury

The weekend coming is month 6. Half way there folks.

June’s done. 2 visits from the p* fairy inside 10 miles ( one in the front, one in the back ). But another LBS came to the rescue, by having a good supply of replacement tubes, and gas canisters. I checked the pressures when I got home, somehow I managed to get 130 psi in the front using a mini pump and a gas canister .

June's done a solo tour of the vale of Belvior for couple of tricky veloviewer squares . Just enough at 100.3 miles at a steady 14.8 mph . Set off today with the mindset just pootle after months of pushing on it was a very relaxed ride . New cafe located very nice Verde velo

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Also done, 126 miles in the company of @tallliman @tallliman also bagged a few explorer squares

And @Lilliburlero

 

[Supersuperleeds]

These days, I'd be happy with 14.8 mph average whatever the ride..... :-)

Junes ride done and dusted.
A very warm and sunny solo jaunt down to Camber Sands. And boy was it busy down there. Light winds on the way down and a nice tailwind for the return made for a nice and rapid ride. Eggs, chips and beans at the beachside cafe went down a treat. . A cuppa (well 2 actually) at Rachel's mums in New Romney made for a nice little leg rest and a cheeky pint of Doom Bar at the George pub in Yalding.

So, 113 miles for the day. Century #9 for the year, #237 over all and month 91 in a row.
A thoroughly lovely cycling day.

Camber Sands

I suppose you can call this a quintessential English image. Village cricket with the Bilsington Memorial in the background.

Rehydration at Yalding

Gotta keep the pegs turning
