    I did a flat route today from aberystwyth to aberdovey and back. 100.3km, 3hr 15min, 19mph average.

    Off into the hills on sunday so that should slow me down 😉

    I am on the board with one point. As I am *not*employed the 13C temperature got me out the door on a Wednesday in my shorts. I’ve tried a few training runs since the clocks went back in the colder weather but the extra layer just made me feel slow and stiff.
    I did 97.3km in 3h28:16 at 28kph. Then had to go around the village to top up to the ton a bit slower. Even so it took over 4 hours with a stop for a mars bar and stretching and some toe wiggling.

    So I am wondering what speed some of you can manage the ton at? Just a bit worried it might take 5 hours in freezing January.

    No one posted in 6 weeks, well I am getting exited to tackle my first Metric very soon, if the challenge gets laid down next week. I’ve got a shiny new username and everything.

    I see 18 people have completed the challenge already with 4 days left to finish. There are some high scorers who fell out over the summer but I can only see three guys left who could score and complete this month: stofish, squiggle and windy54. Tomorrow Sunday Oct 28th has to be the last best chance.

    Got 4 rides in last week. I was doing some back up to a group doing LEJOG so got to ride during the day from Golant(not 100km), Street, Dumfries, Fort Augustus and Betty Hill. The Dumfries ride included a bit of today’s ToB route.
