What a cracking day for it! Chose the longer version, with a few extra miles to close out my 3rd Imperial for the year. Clocked up 20 Metrics so far.Mustang wrote:Brissie to the bay MS ride. 1.2m raised at last count.
My 5th Metric for the year, charity rides keep me on target!!

No more Imperials for me since last update but added four metrics including a slightly accidental one on Sunday - was only meant to be 70-80 but too much fun was being had. But it made up for the Saturday where I fell 23klm short due to sleeping in.
Metrics -17 Imperials - 6

You clearly aren't in Melbourne!g-boaf wrote:Imperial century for me. The weather was surprisingly warm today.
Congrats, I'm hoping to do my first imperial this year by doing Around the Bay.

Sydney- and yesterday was an unusual blip. Today was properly cold again, could feel my fingers getting very cold despite the gloves.
I followed up the 162km yesterday with 113km today.

I am hoping to get an imperial in before then . Or I really will struggle with the 210.DavidS wrote:I'm hoping to do my first imperial this year by doing Around the Bay.
But I keep rolling out the metrics, number 8 for the year.
We will see how this weekend goes for weather.

Ride to the start, do The Lap then ride home. Depending where you start & finish from you could clock up an imperial double. I called it Ironbum when I did it.DavidS wrote:I'm hoping to do my first imperial this year by doing Around the Bay.

I'd be about 9KMs from the start/finish so I doubt I can do a double imperial. One is enough.Duck! wrote:Ride to the start, do The Lap then ride home.

Yesterday I rode from Coolum to Brisbane with 100k solo and 60 with a mate...riding Sth into a SW that was nudging 50kph at times. The Hornibrook bridge...flat out doing 20kph. Nasty. I think it was the hardest ride I have ever done.
Metrics - 18 Imperials - 8

Last weekend was a wet bike packing trip to Coromandel...heaps of gravel, tracks and funny enough hills.
Day 1 was over 80km (Strava added ferry trip so dropped part of ride) but was a tough wet 80km https://www.strava.com/activities/1167225648
and day 2 was 120km. The ferry was cancelled which I didnt know about and they sent buses to pick up everyone but i was on the jetty, which they didnt check... so was left behind... and my phone was broken but thankfully I stopped a car who spotted the bus and they managed to get me otherwise I was looking at another 200km ride back home https://www.strava.com/activities/1167225902
Thats 8 Metrics, 4 Imperials and 1 double
