Too much time in the Cafe.

I'll help you do 100 in five hours, never mind a day !!! That'll motivate you

Dear lord, you push yourself! I've been cycling for nearly 9 years now (mostly utility and pootling, some touring) and never done 100 miles in a day. 68 is my max. Although I'm starting to think it would be a good achievement, I'm not putting a date on it!

Don't forget the days are getting shorter now, approx 12 hours of sun apposed to about 16 in 'summer' That's about 25% reduction, so you only need to do 75miles for an autumn century

I like your thinking!

Maybe best to do it on Dec 21st then, for maximum benefit....

It's beacuse I need a new target.

SO - I hereby set myself a target of doing my first hundred miler in a day before Nov 9th. No caveats involved. I'll draw up a cunning plan.

Now. Where is that cafe again?

Hurrah! A plan!

But...don't you also think reaching 1000 posts would be a bit of a milestone

Go for it crock. I did my first one earlier this year and it was blowing a hoolie however I had made my mind up that I was doing it that day and a bit of wind was not going to stop me

The forecast isn't great, up here at least, so be prepared to do some of it in wet clothes. I think I might put this month's off for a week.

Daylight shouldn't be a problem, surely. Even at my very sedate pace I don't have to use my back light until January.
