Power of 10 Challenge

[consularrider]

March imperial century was done today, 100.43 miles on a decent spring day in Ukraine. That makes 63 consecutive months with at least one 100 plus mile ride (also equals my age). I’ll be about a week late for the happy hour.

The 100 or the 63?

[consularrider]

Is anybody else still doing this? I got my sixth month with an imperial century for 2016 today. That makes 66 consecutive months.

I’m still doing it. I’m also doing a power of 60 challenge. 60 rides of 60 miles or longer.

I’m still trying to do it all in one bike ride…

Do I get a sticker for riding 41,000′ last weekend, that’s got to count for something:)

In 60 days?

I’m still doing this.

Century #1 – Six Pillars Century: Mostly flat. I saw two eagles in a tree!

Century #2 – Cap2Cap: Partially on trail. Really good signage but terrible cue sheet. Great weather. Yummy burritos for lunch.

Century #3 – Discover Hudson Valley Ride: 5,700+ feet of climbing which is the most I’ve ever done. Great views of the Hudson. Tree lined backroads.

I’m not sure what the next one will be yet. I’m doing Ragbrai at the end of the July and will likely extend one of the days into a century, but need to find something in early July.

Or if you want to do a ride the next day (Sunday, July 17) instead, join me on the first 50 miles of my ride to Pittsburgh, then turn around and go back. Voila! 100 miles.

[Judd]

I am signed up for the Tour de Chocolate Town now. Thanks for the suggestion Dave. It was on my list.

Steve O – if the legs are feeling good on the 17th I’m probably down for a partial Pittsburgh ride.

Power of 10 Century #4 completed today:

Tour de Chocolate Town in Hershey, PA. It was a build your own century ride with a 50 mile loop and two 25 mile loops to choose from. Lots of turns. Some nice views of the rolling valleys of Pennsylvania. Just under 4,500 feet of climbing which became a bit mentally tough during the last 25 mile loop. I rode with Komorebi and LeprosyStudyGroup and saw AFHokie at the beginning and later on a flyby. Also the fourth state that I’ve ridden a century in this year.

The fifth Power of 10 Century will likely be a mileage addition to one of the days on RAGBRAI. I’m looking for suggestions for 1 or 2 August centuries.

I still love this idea and it’s good motivation to do moar stupid stuff. So I’ve done 9 centuries so far, but wait…7 of them were PRE-SOLSTICE. No problem – again, all the more reason to do stupid rides.

CENTURY 1 – KILL BILL 2016
https://www.strava.com/activities/593451646
The best/worst century in metro dc with 120+ miles of riding and almost 12k feet of climbing. Plus I did it on my steel single speed!

CENTURY 2 – 2016 DC Randos Fleche
https://www.strava.com/activities/534325268
Super chill 24 hour team ride of 240+ miles and 16400 feet of climbing with snow, rain, gusts up to 60 mph, and warm sunshine!

CENTURY 3 – Skyline for Cobbler and Ice Cream
https://www.strava.com/activities/652288954
A few hills, pleasant temps, 3 black bears, and the best cobbler and ice cream combination in my lifetime.

3 down, 7 to go…

I guess I’ve done four actual centuries so far this year as follows:

1. Goshen Pass Randonee. Highly recommended for next year.
https://www.strava.com/activities/516389300

2. Kill Bill. Enough Said. May 30th.
https://www.strava.com/activities/593446497

3. Friday Coffee ride then the long way home. Because why not. July 1
https://www.strava.com/activities/626855340

4. Friday Wine and Gravel Hooky Ride: July 8.
https://www.strava.com/activities/634577685

Lots of other 70-90 mile rides. Guess I should start turning those into centuries if I really want to get to 10.
