One thing that can help is a little healthy but fun competition for motivation, I do run a little thing called CycLeagues.com that you'd be welcome to join, it's a league system that you can compete in weekly, monthly and a Summer/Winter Challenge, you get a point for every 50km + 1 point per 500m climbed + 1 point for…

I don't think you need any tips Karan :) I fully expect to be able to do a century at the age of 50 as I'm currently 45, I'd like to be able to do it when I'm 100 too .... well that's the plan :)

Much congrats to everyone who bagged a trophy and all that rode, excellent work again by Mark and a job well done all round, it was very gratifying to see the automatic updates working nicely too, the future is here! :)

Very true, it's more a mental thing and a belief you can do it, physically its just pace it and it's no big deal .... honestly :) As a golden rule for any thing over 50 miles I tend to stay between 70-80% of my max heart rate and you should be comfy for pretty much any distance as long as you keep refuelling. For power…

With hydration and fuelling I've found that an electrolyte based water bottle and a meat based bread roll or something equally substantial every two hours does just fine and that's over a 13 hour 200 miler ride, something sweet for a sugar boost can also help. Everyone is different so find a formulae that works well for…

Ouch! Yeh that's pretty horrific!

Really chuffed, to say the Just Giving page was only setup 24 days ago and we've hit this already is just bloomin fantastic, here's hoping it goes even higher, I'll keep plugging away at the training and upcoming rides like this Saturdays 320km training ride (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13785025) will hopefully keep…

Almost at target now, currently standing at £487.20 raised so far for Cancer Research, thank you so much to everyone who have supported this so far, might even go above target at this rate with just over three months to the challenge start date. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Jason-Savage3

Looks like Frankensteins shoulder, that should heal nicely though,

If you have a smart phone you can upload the rides via Bluetooth with the Garmin connect app, my Garmin 810 doesn't work via USB anymore, got a new one coming tomorrow coincidentally, I always now have a little Garmin 520 running at the same time these days, for one its handy for displaying power stats, it's small so great…

Superb, just opened up a jiffy bag forwarded on from Mark (thanks v much for doing this) and I've got 4 cool little Richmond pins, stuck them on my Turbo Training table, quite apt when I've been cycling round Richmond on Zwift like a million times lol, almost feels like I've earn't a badge or two on that lol. Nice one…

I believe so, bsexton3 joined and I authorised this morning, once the others @icehurtz and @awmayhall are in I'll add them into CycLeagues too so should then be reflected in any teams once finalised.

Can @icehurtz and @awmayhall also join this Strava club please: https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFPCChallenge

If I can figure out how to do one I will :), I think Garmin has a live share option to Faceybook I've never used to can check it out, Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jason.savage.503 Strava: http://www.strava.com/athletes/3024626

. I hope so, it's a once never to be repeated kind of thing, the time invested in training is probably not something I'll want to do again, the daily distance and route should hopefully inspire the charity donations, you can follow my Strava to see if I'm keeping up the training https://www.strava.com/athletes/3024626 and…

Just a reminder that if your joining the challenge please join this Strava club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFPCChallenge This ensures your rides are picked up in the automated logging parallel test run we are doing.

Nice little story, would have been nice to watch the race on TV, especially with our little star Lizzie taking part. Technical difficulties, what a shame.
