4 days down and I’m 257km in. I’m about to head out on a short ride now before my optometrist appointment. I’m going to clock up as many kms as possible this weekend (public holiday on Monday so plenty of opportunities).A16B3F28-B292-40D8-B377-BC7DD8B38EB0.png
 
Just got back from a decent ride.

I’m now completed 34% of my total km goal and am 189km ahead of schedule. If I keep up this pace (I won’t) ill ride 2283km in October ... I said at the beginning if I make 1300 with room to spare I’ll go for 1500. Don’t want to change my offical goal just yet but that 1500 is looking pretty likely. 62A81F56-E3C6-493C-9FBA-03F47BED3A97.pngD1EB91C8-F0D7-4B80-A66C-CADDABE8E9C5.png

118.71 km? A decent ride? Classic understatement :smilielol5:

I was a bit disappointed actually. I felt VERY good and intended to do an extra loop to get to 165 for my first ever imperial century but I decided last second not to because I didn’t know how long my headlight battery would last (and it started raining).

I'm very glad you decided on safety! :)
I like the sound of the phrase

though! Let us know when you do hit it, and we can celebrate with you.

Aiming for some time in October but can promise anything. It takes a LOT of free time to dedicate to it. It’s about 6.5 hours of riding plus breaks in between for meals.
 
Hey TM, I know you are too busy to spend much time here, but it would be good to know when you finish up. I think that should be soon, right?

Your riding is very impressive! Even more so to me, now that I am trying to ride a little, very very little compared to you.

hey Rob,

sorry yes I’ve been very busy. Not just riding though. Work has been CRAZY. The last 2 weeks. I’m now working from a different office so I’m trying to get used to that too.

18 days in and I’m 65% done. Hoping for a big weekend but with strong winds forecast for tomorrow I don’t think I’ll get much in on Saturday. It’s going to be mostly a Sunday effort I think.820421C3-9EA0-4745-8E56-803EE943042C.png
 
Sunday was a great day. Knocked out 101kms and ticked over the 1000 mark :hurray:

I’ll be back to the forum in November. Until then I’ll just be checking in when I can 675C05AC-F73A-47DD-AD96-DFDE343D2B6B.png
 
Tonight was a good ride. Intended to go for 30km but that turned to 50 then 50 turned to 80 and 80 turned to 100. Third century for the month. Second this week ...

Now just 96km to go. If I can get them before the end of the day Friday (Friday is forecast 45km/h winds so this may be difficult) I’ll increase my goal to 1500.

see you all in the new month!86F7EEAE-BC71-4A61-8B19-F597E193B571.png
 
Good news!

I reached my target of 1300kms last night with an average of 52km a day so in true Truffle Monster style I upped the original target to 1500. I’ve got 6 more days to get 200kms. Easy!

You are awesome, TM! Is it ok if I call you Pete from now on or would you prefer TM?
