didn't do too well on this last year, too much else going on / other commitments etc, but things (hopefully) easier this year so it is one of my targets for '07
Or, in other words, i'm in
1 - 26th Jan, 118.58km / 73.7miles. Caister - Horsey - Sea Palling - Stalham (cake stop) - A1151 then vague route through country lanes to Neatishead - Horning - Wroxham - Coltishall - sister's gaff in Norwich (chocolate cake stop) - Salhouse - South Walsham - Acle - Stokesby - Ormesby St Margaret - Caister. Longest ride since last May. Bit wet & windy in places
2 - 15th Feb, 104.43km / 64.9miles. Caister - St Olaves - Burgh St Peter - Ellingham - Bungay - Flixton - Harleston - Hempnall - Stoke Holy Cross - Norwich train station. Warmer than Jan's ride and nice to see some early spring Skylarks & Snowdrops, nice tailwind over last 20 miles too
3 - 2nd March, 112.95km / 70 miles. Up the east Norfolk coast thro' Winterton, Happisburgh, past the "golfball" to Overstrand Clifftop Cafe (1358 sea miles to Gibraltar). And back again.
Blue sky, sunshine, shorts and a fine looking female cyclist along the way to lift the, er, spirit
4 - 15th March, 107.73km / 67miles. Norwich train station out onto NCR1 railway path to Taverham, back on the roads & through Ringland, Lyng, North Elmham, Gt Ryburgh (+ loop about Colkirk & Gateley), on to Guist, Wood Norton, Guestwick, Cawston, B1149 to Norwich & the train staion.

Oh sod it...good way to get me started before March0

I'll never manage the imperial one but I reckon I can give this one a shot.

This is gonna be a hard hard challenge to start.
Just did a 10 miler (was meant to be 35 miles) to clear my lungs and get back into training (been a bit grotty over the festive period).
It was one of the hardest rides of my life.
143 miles in a day last year was nothing compared to this.
P.S. If I take part in the imperial century challenge and this one, does my ride from the imperial century count towards the metric century challenge, or is that against the spirit of the competition?Have fun,

Well its finally done 12 100KM rides one for each month of the year, the last three months have been a struggle to get over 100KM as it doesn't really fit in with my winter training plans but I managed to fit them in.
Congratulations to everyone that did the challenge, it was a good goal to set for myself and comes recommend for anyone to give it a go, even if you just do 100KM a month for the 12 months and thats it, it still is a massive achievement for anyone so congratulations to all that managed to keep it going to the 12th month.0 -
Well count me in again, I managed last year's doing 52 100k rides. Doubt I'll get the chance to get anywhere near that figure, but a min of 1 a month ought to be on.
