Impractical rather than impossible - there's a window of opportunity there ...

It would need more brownie points than I can accrue in a year!

If you start the process now then you might have enough by the time of the 2018 edition!

Lawn mowing done last night. It's a start.

Sunday 9th Nottingham ride took the delightful off road trail from Shardlow to Nottingham mostly along the Trent, just over 20 Km. Well, delightful on 32mm tyres but perhaps not on 23's! Lovely in the sunshine (legs out and sun cream on) and saw an abundance of Orange Tip butterflies. One I'd definitely do again.

Lawn mowing? Sunshine? Butterflies? All most strange, these phenomena. A butterfly transported here would soon find itself travelling alarmingly rapidly towards the east coast. Spring in the Dales seems to have reverted to 'windy with the threat of rain' once more. Still, my route today was cunningly designed to only have 20-30mph headwind on downhill sections; all but about 10km anyway, so that worked out really rather nicely for a change

Well, the 109 Km ride logged today was on the Leicestershire group ride. The groupees, being younger and faster, looked after me graciously - but I did push harder than usual and increased the average speed over 100 Km by about 4 Kph, which only goes to show how lazy I had been previously ;-)) A brilliant day!

2 in 2 days for me after going over a month without one. Today`s was a cracking forum meet up with my groupees @13 rider , @Supersuperleeds , @tallliman , @graham bowers and Andy

It was @13 rider 50th birthday today and his sister put on a wonderful spread to feed the starving masses that piled through her door. Big kudos to her and the rest of your family @13 rider for making us feel so welcome

Happy birthday buddy

Today was a good day

I think some of you need reminding that it is a metric century a MONTH not a metric century a WEEK!

I'm doing better than I expected to (and 100+ km rides coming up the next couple of weekends too) but some of you are relentlessly churning them out!

No kidding. I've managed 2 so far this month, my 'planned' challenge ride plus the first trip out with a local Club (which was actually less that 60 miles, but I did 6 miles to get to the start)..

Rode to Giant's Wood today, but there was no Giant, he must have gone out shopping.

Easiest 100km I've done this year, plenty of sunshine, no wind, nothing even remotely resembling a hill.

Turning for Giant's Wood Lane.
