The Imperial Century A Month Challenge Chatzone

Cheers fella's makes me feel better psychologically....next challenge is to complete next months on my 2 speed Brompton. Hopefully it'll be easier into headwinds as its got much lower bars than my upright one.

Well I was watching and waiting and yesterday was as good as it was going to get.
So glad to get that one out of the way, cold but dry. I saw quite a few seasonal bunnies in the fields, and some that were roadkill, along with a badger
Here's to next month

EDIT: and I nearly hit a fox at dusk around Sefton Park, never used to see them but now we're practically falling over them

Well done to everyone for completing March's rides in what must be some of the worst weather that the Gods above decided to throw at us cyclists.

Hopefully the next 9 months will be easier

Having said that, my April ride is the 300k Heart of England Audax

This will be my longest single day ride by quite some margin

+1...............in spades.
Looking at knocking out Aprils next weekend. Get it over and done with.
Though if the weather is good at looking at a 100+ miler every weekend of April.

And another +1.
Ditto on the other two counts as well- Adam's HS2 ride is about 91 miles. The best train to make sure I'm at Euston in time gets into Waterloo at 7.13. So naturally planning to (deliberately) take the long way there, nine and a bit miles instead of four.
Following weekend is the Reading CTC Brighton run, week after that the FNRttC York-Hull (probably riding back to the mates' place north of York), week after that is the New Forest charity ride I'm doing...

I'm planning to dirty my new bike with a 100+ miler this week. Will pick it up Wednesday and ride it home 26 miles, check and tighten as needed, get up on Thursday and ride, ride, ride!

^ have you sussed out your ETREX yet?

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

I'm thinking of trying to get April's done on Wednesday, seems to be the best forecast all week..gulp!

Made my originally planned March century (181miles to be precise) but I'm glad I never had to rely on it. I'm tempted to do it early this month too but in a few weeks it should be nicer, surely this unseasonal east wind can't continue

For the next couple of weeks at least apparently...

I last saw the long term weather forecast on Friday and they were predicting the wind would gradually move north over the weekend and we'd be back to normal (west) this week. Got back last night and they are now predicting another week at least

I take my hat off to you guys doing the challenge this year. I did it last year but think I would have wimped out this year with the constant cold weather.
