The Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge ChatZone

[Ajax Bay]

Looking at the last three posters: @Elybazza61 @john59 and @tallliman, these posts are going to get real long if people don't keep each ride to one line.
Just saying.
Well done on all the long rides. Kernow and SW 600 for me at the weekend.

So would Snetterton to Snetterton via loads of villages do?,,,,,

I was kind of jostled to the front when it came to making the starter post for the 2016 thread, and we spent ages agreeing on the wording. So now, although it doesn't really matter that much, I feel strangely duty bound to try to police the guidelines.

Basically what I’m trying to say is “look at @Sea of vapours he’s an exemplary poster”.

I think I’ll shut up about it now because I don’t really care, and I’m in danger of coming across as an aggressive pedant.

I will say one thing though. I’m not doing the starter post for 2017!!

Yes.
The strava/RwGPS etc link one can embed behind the distance (say): it does not have to stand alone. That contains the details (eg multiple villages) of the ride, so I just restrict the number of places en route to the main ones (few in number to fit on one line). One line examples:

14-May-2016. An anti-clockwise loop round mid and south Shropshire (plus bits of Powys and Herefordshire). 110.83 miles (178.32km) 6 points.

- 14th May, 102.4km, 1 point (Keasden, Hornby, Barbondale, Dent, Ribblehead, Keasden - 1,450,m)

Hey,don't worry about it,I was just being a bit facetious;no harm intended.

I take the point about the posts getting unweildy,think like others got a bit lazy with the copy and paste.

Yes.

June's in the bag . Because of this challenge today I got properly wet . Set out having checked the forecast no rain till 2 plenty of time to get round . Got to the furtherest point from home at 12.30 and it rains so normally I take the short route home but having got halfway I stuck it out to get the miles in and got wet.

Second 100 of the month done last Sunday with a little trip out to West Suffolk,nice brisk one too with a 30pkh average.

Hope to get another in this week-end too.

Third 100 of the month with a ride from work in Cambridge back home to Ely via Saffron Walden.

@Ajax Bay - ouch, that series of 'days' looks a tad arduous. Was that the Miles Pennines audax perchance? And re your 'N.B.': now I know why the Fleak Moss, The Stang, to top above Stanhope sequence feels 'quite hilly' then ;-) Impressive ride!
