I use the camelback one where the spout folds in or tesco stainless steel flasks in winter to stop them freezing. Luckily the Brompton bag bottle pockets have roll down fasteners if the going is bad.
I had thought planning the March century would be somewhat easier (from a weather perspective) than Jan & Feb. Out of cold, wet & windy, I'd consider riding in the cold and/or wind but wet would be a non-starter (literally). 10 miles on Sunday in rain and hailstones was more than enough
Still plenty of time yet, I know, fingers crossed for a little more "seasonal" weather SOON.
I was certainly glad to get mine done early as the rest of March doesn't give me much opportunity even if the weather was/will be kind.
It would appear 7/10 of us (remaining in the challenge) are yet to complete the March century....good luck guys
A wise move indeed! I keep thinking it's got to improve soon. I just don't want to be riding in a force 9 gale on the last day of the month

Just checking....
....I'm assuming centuries still count even if they're not solo centuries, don't they?
....just need to find a slightly bigger/faster bloke to draft behindCenturies count in company, of course!
It was at the start of the month; I have another planned for the 30th but given the weather I wouldnt want to rely on itI had thought planning the March century would be somewhat easier (from a weather perspective) than Jan & Feb.

I think I'd wait a week and let that be the April century, unless of course you're planning back to back weekend rides....I have another planned for the 30th but given the weather I wouldnt want to rely on it

I don't think waiting is an option, its a 246km (151mile) Sportive, I just hope the weather improvesI think I'd wait a week and let that be the April century, unless of course you're planning back to back weekend rides
Well, three of us are starting a 200k audax on Sunday............
Good luck guys! I've been watching the forecast which keeps saying it will improve a little in 4 or 5 days but as we get closer it deteriorates. This month's century is in the lap of the gods.
