It's due to be my 1000th consecutive day of logging on MFP on Sunday 28th Sep 2014...

Anyone fancy a 'Challenge Ride' to celebrate it with me?

This of course would be a 'Social', no drop, cafe stop kinda ride - not a peddle 'til you pass out kinda ride!

I was thinking of this route (http://www.strava.com/activities/134699207) that I did for the MFP Liège - Bastogne - Liège Challenge Ride way back in April...

Comments, suggestions?

What do you think?

    Saying that... Saturday 27th might be more do-able for me though...

    See how it goes!

    Who knows, this might be as popular an idea as a fart in a gas mask... :sick:

    you're a little far afield for me to join but I hope you get some take-up. Route looks nice.

    Same for me unfortunately! :frown: I would love for us to all ride together some day, in fact I'm often thinking about it! :ohwell: Maybe next time for me!

    Too far for me to sorry Cloggsy, and i've got a sportive lined up for the Sunday. What about a group outing to somewhere like the Alps next year?

    Not too far away for me, but looks too hilly for my current abilities...that said unfortunately that weekend is chocka anyway - but would be good to all get together - when I lose about 3 stone and can climb a bit better :laugh:

    Sounds like a plan!

    It looks like this is going to be cancelled due to 'lack of interest' :cry:

    On my part DEFINITELY not lack of interest - I'd love to ride with you guys - but maybe on not quite so many hills quite yet! I know I'd be the one at the back pushing the bike, and I'd hate that...I'd like to do it when I can hold my own and at least be the one at the back but pedalling up the hill!!

    ** CANCELLED **

    I can't do the Sunday now; got to collect the missus who's coming back from London...

    Can't decide if I'm disappointed or relieved... I've been hoping the cold would go and i'd miraculously be able to get around 2/3 of the TdF course without coughing up a lung, but it's still making it's presence felt, and I was pretty much at the point of having to admit I wasn't going to be up to riding... At least I don't feel quite so bad about blobbing out now.

    Perhaps "postponed" may be a better approach... Though we're losing the decent weather and longer days now (for those of us that have a bit of a drive on each end of the journey...)

    I can do the Saturday mate, just not the Sunday...

    that's one less day's recovery for me mate... and seeing as I thought today i'd be improving, but after just knocking around the house tidying up (which I haven't been up to for the last week or so!) i'm coughing up golfballs, nose is running again, and i'm sweating like a pig called Streaky...

    not looking good by the weekend :-(

    Why don't you set a ride distance, time, elevation gain/loss? Then, we can join you over the internet. I am willing to ride Sunday afternoon in my timezone. I would enjoy riding with you, but the cost is a bit much.
