The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

[Banjo]

And I'm done for this year's- 104.17 miles to Brighton and back, plus the bonus of one white van man upset. Poor dear didn't know his Highway Code, actually pulled over on the A259 to suggest I use the cycle lane- that's the bit of red paint full of gravel, potholes and other niceties. I politely advised him I was entirely within my rights to use the road as I went past, his language in response was less polite and gave the impression he thought my presence had somehow slowed him down more than all the other cars, vans, and trucks. Judging by the state of him, he needed to do some exercise

Well done on finishing the challenge.

Shame some plonker tried to spoil your day.Amazing how stupid some people are that they will spend 5 minutes ranting because you caused them a few seconds delay.

I dont bother trying to educate them anymore ,they are generally too thick to be worth wasting breath on.

Going to try to do my last 100 this coming week I have two routes in mind, one hilly scenic route and one flat coastal route on gritted main roads if its cold so cross your fingers for me..

Hoping it's not to harsh out there for you whatever route you choose

Not sure when I will do my December 100 yet...

Thanks Ian and best wishes for your last ride of the series.

Finished the challenge .Last ride done today 101 miles Barry to Mumbles via St Donats, Ogmore ,Port Talbot and Back.
Didnt set off until nearly 10 as I thought it was too cold for safety but then it warmed up a bit so I did a coastal flattish ride that passes a few train stations if conditions got icy.

Nearly turned round at Port Talbot as cold and a biting head wind was taking it out of me.Coffee and cake at Baglan bakery cafe (amazingly good watering hole) cheered me up so pushed on and it warmed up through the day .Tail wind on way back was appreciated :-) . feet up now. I am only doing shorter rides that can be finished in daylight for the rest of the winter. Drop of Merlot now in celebration

Sorted. December's ride completed today - a great day's cycling throgh Sussex and Kent, especially and ups and downs in the Ashdown Forest. I've managed 25 Centuries this year, and will be trying to get another one in, which will make it an average of one every other week.

 

[Trickedem]

Well, I've also completed my December century, which takes me over 4600 miles for the year. 600 miles over target, which is pleasing! I now need to work out how to set up my signature, with my double stars.
