The Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge ChatZone

[Dogtrousers]

That's August in the bag. Went extremely well, considering that it was the first time I've been on a bike this month. The rest seemed to have done me good. Did the whole ride without stopping, with the rather annoying side effect that I dropped an Eccles cake that I was eating when I hit a bump. I was heartbroken. Knees rather ominously sore now though.

Gosh! Having just looked at your ride today, it seems that there are bits of Scotland - or one bit anyway - which is approaching fairly flat (though there does seem to be something of a cliff at about 60km). Rather a nice route, that.

Yeah, most of the first part of that ride is flat, nice climb after the cafe stop at 65k.

Is that your idea of flat !!!
I think in Kent 200km rides should be required for 1 point

I'm definitely out of this challenge! Back isn't in a great place at the moment, seen the chiropractor today and had some acupuncture too. Good luck to everyone for the rest of the year - see you in 2016!

Sorry you're out. Come back to it fresh and raring to go in January.

Thanks, but do you know something about me that I don't?

sorry, misread the thread. Look after yourself @Rustybucket . @Donger feel free to behave recklessly.

Get yourself well again Rustybucket.. Have been there so you have my full sympathy for what its worth.
I resorted to a sadist physio in the end.
I phoned one day and said the exercises were really hurting.
"They'll be working then " she said and hung up.
