2018 - Imperial 160km & Metric 100km Centuries
Postby AUbicycles » Fri Dec 22, 2017 10:49 pm
Share direct links to your ride on Strava and tell us how easy or hard it is to smash out the k's. Make sure you join the Australian Cycles Forums Strava Group.
At the end of the year, tally up your metric and imperial centuries to see who is the maddest lad or lass of the bunch.
Remember, 99.8km is not 100km, so if you have to do a few laps of the block... then that's what you have to do to be champ.
Go the distance!

A 128k/1600m^ to start the year. Youngish kids so went to bed after The Karate Kid so was able to get an early start. Funny when you ride past all of the post apocalypse zombies at 4:30am ha ha.
I will admit that it was meant to be an Imperial with 2k^ but it was just soooooo hot.

Any time I am on a ride and look to be finishing within 10 km of the 100, I go round the block to make itfat and old wrote:98k this morning, then I thought of this thread. Bummer
Sometimes I do that in the 80's as well

Finished at 120k on Sunday after some early morning delays with riding buddies (a flat with one and could not find the another ) then we had the realisation that the SEQ heatwave was actually going to be hot 5' metrics ytd.
Maybe next week...

I did 128km yesterday, and 100km today, both 31 average.
Yesterday had a garmin fail, didn't realise auto pause was off on the new Edge 520 I'm using. So stopped at a crossing (off road) and adjusting settings (struggling with no touch screen) and all the while my average has gone from 37.5km/h to 22km/h. Got it back to 31 though.

Gotta love technology, my Garmin refused to even turn on for over an hour this afternoon when i got home.TheWall wrote:Well the maybe next week came. 162klm at a 31klm avge with a group of 3. Even had a crack at LDR's Kin Kin range time...BUT...

Had a big ride today including a near 11km dirt climb at 5% average, I was pretty well toasted by the time I got back to the start, but I was on 90kms... This thread was the number one thing that got me to crawl the extra 10k
