Nice work mate, & a good time to go with it.

Did my 2nd 50 yesterday, onwards & upwards towards the 100.

thanks guys

That says 99.6 ;-)

Great effort all the same, but the ocd in me means I'd have had to do an extra half a mile.

Stuuu

Impressive work!

I'm still struggling to do forty on two consecutive days. I've got a long way to go to match your achievements.

I was first on the challenge for half a day with 143.7 miles... then the countries with more daylight woke up and smashed me to bits! Oh well.

if you really had ocd you would call it COD as thats the correct Alphabetical way


strave said 100.6 but when i uploaded it said 99.6 but im not splitting hairs..!!

Kudos and also to anyone who does it solo.

Good prep for the Rapha 500 in a couple of weeks

Well done to all that completed the challenge. I did it yesterday, not 100 miles and very slow, but plenty of climbing. Was really struggling towards the end, as can be seen from my times.

well done to all

hey Pinkid - were you delivering pizzas as well, a lot of detours round housing estates

lol trying to find our way to Dolan Cycles on the way out there.. nearly pressed the go button on a track bike while having a well deserved coffee. Cheers Mr Dolan..

took a wrong turn near the end and ended up with a puncture
just my luck, wish i did have a pizza as it would have been demolished while fixing the tube lol
had a great trip with only 1 mech stop so all was good

Well, as it stands, I am at the top of the leaderboard in my country. That's not saying much as there weren't that many entries in Switzerland, which is odd seeing as Switzerland is the home of BMC.

Hopefully, they'll send me a special prize, especially seeing as I ride an SLR01

pinarellokid

let us know if you win then fella and what you get

Congratulations. Especially doing in when the days are getting shorter.

I did my first 50 miles today. I was hitting a wall at 43 miles, probably due having no food and only drinking a few hundred ml. I can't wait for the long summer nights

Oh, Robbo by shear coincidence I was wearing a BMC Team jersey (the only jersey that matches the colour of my red, black and white Specialized) under a Mammut softshell jacket I bought when I was once climbing in Switzerland.
