A like for getting so far not being foiled by a mechanical. Hope it doesn't get in the way of the other challenges.

Bugger; that's tough luck. At least we are not far from the end of the year, for it all to start over again.

Join me in the wings, keep going. I crashed in Feb, but for that I'd be on 31month streak now, just 7 months in reality.

I completed the third 100 kms ride of the month today. I am in such a condition tha the distance no longer seems to be a significant challenge, Gentle reader: Do not take it upon yourself to suggest that i consider the IMPERIAL challenge.

So far in Oct I've backed out of a 200km audax due to logistics and 100km audax +30km to and fro on Sat due to weather, Somerset descents around Chew Valley in rain are scary. Will not back out of this Saturday's one otherwise all long distance fitness gone! I too find 100km fairly straightforward normally although I'm never fast.
