#June100 Update and a Decent Ride

First, The #June100 Update

Two weeks in, and I’m amazed.  Today is the 14th of June, so with 46.666% (recurring) of the month gone, the 30 members of the June100 have completed 94.7333% (recurring) of the mileage required.  Of course it’s an individual challenge, but those figures show how awesome some of you guys are.

12 people have already completed the 100 leisure miles.  Another 7 (making 19 out of 30 overall) are ahead of their pro-rata target and look like hitting the 100 miles by month end.  I’m sure a bunch of others will increase the mileage (including Rafe, who doesn’t even start until the 20th) and hit the target.

I take my hat off to you all.  You’re special.  And I don’t mean in a sunshine bus kind of way. 🙂

Saturday’s Ride

So far, all my rides for the #June100 have increased in length.  I suspect this won’t continue because I messed up that continuum on Saturday by doing a 2 hour ride.  It was great fun though.  I found myself with the afternoon free so I got changed, got the Fat Boy out of the shed and headed first to Castleton via Thornham Lane (or Thornham Old Road as it’s called now), before going to my favourite place in the world, Hollingworth Lake, along the canalside.  One quick lap o’t’Lake and then back home in time to pick up the kids.

It was a gorgeous day, so it was a gorgeous rise and with just over 20 miles under my belt I was well chuffed with myself.  I took just one rest stop to take a photo too, so I was very happy with my legs.

The other good news on Saturday was the arrival of my MTB slicks, which I’ll put on the week before Manchester to Blackpool, which is in 3 weeks.

    Interesting reading Phill. From one pot bellied cycling diabetic to another 🙂

    (although I must get out more by myself to get some decent mileage)

    I’ll get on the sunshine bus. Tomorrows looking like another big mile day, I’m going to ride the club 10 course with a friend. Downside is my club is based about 20 miles from home. 🙂 I need to get a move on, those ahead of me on the June 100 are WELL ahead of me.

    Confession time: I fixed a gate, erected a bird feeder and (the only bike-related task here) put a hook on the shed to hold the door open when I’m getting the bike out. No miles today.

    So, must try harder tomorrow…

    Good! At least it gives me a chance to catch up tomorrow evening! Keep up the good work (in the garden) 😉
