@sandboy – congratulations!!  I actually had a couple of days off before the 16th Sept just for a break 🙂

I was out in the snow again. Popped down to the Uath Lochan via the Speyside Way, stopped at Loch Insh Boathouse for food and drink (and a chance to warm up) then back via Drakes Bothy.

It was overcast most of the day with very, very low cloud and snow/sleet showers flitting through. I did get one short burst of blue sky

Only two weeks to go. Seems to have flown by.

Attempted an ascent of Alpe Du Zwift this morning, aiming for 175w for each section. Managed to get to hairpin 11 ok but blew up halfway to 10 so stopped there. Still a solid 50 minute workout though and gives me an aim to work at over the next few weeks.

Day 87 – snowy bimble with Mrs S

About 30cm of snow now in the Glenmore area. It’s not been too trodden so still fine for walking on.

Not-so-Green Lochan

Selfies

Meall a Bhuachaille

One for @fazzini

Sun sets early now so easy to catch these sunlit hillsides.

Just before Mrs S lost her hat (we found it again)

A couple hours hike and exercises along the Tees.Sort of Newport Bridge to the Transporter.Lots of ducks on the river,which I’ve never seen before.I guess all the ponds are frozen.My body and mind feel like hibernating but I,m fighting it.
Big thanks to @scotroutes and @AndrewL for keeping us all going with their beautiful pics.

Fail today😔.Unless somebody can think up an extremely relaxing, half an hour,pre bed exercise idea for me!😃

Made it…30 minute yt video.Feel a bit awake now though.Sub zero bike ride tomorrow.

One for @fazzini

Cheers @scotroutes 😁 lovely pics everyone. The Green Lochan certainly looks a bit different to when I was there in May.

Great pictures. One day I’ll find the motivation to post some!

I’ve done several more ebike rides over the last week or so, including the or four very cold and snowy Peak rides. I did take my old Solaris to the Cotic ride out, but couldn’t hack the pace!
I’m finding that things are getting a bit harder now… The chemo has caused peripheral neuropathy, so my hands and feet are a bit painful. Feels like the nails are coming off 😕

Chemo round 5 tomorrow, so it will probably be back to gentle walks for a few days.

Nearly there folks 👍

Best wishes with the chemo @stanley!

I’ve been keeping up with this (excluding one sort of fail day in Amsterdam a month back) but I fear today is the last day I really keep up… tomorrow and Friday I’ve got two office parties, and Saturday I’ve got to drive to my MiL’s village. Realistically I can’t see it happening. I could try and do a 30min yoga session while pretending to work, but I’d be faking it and that’s not my style. Come Christmas Day I’ll have done more than 100 sessions of exercise, but the idea of 100 continuous days I’m afraid isn’t going to happen. C’est la vie.

So, best wishes to everyone who’s still in. As usual I’ve really enjoyed @scotroutes’ photos, as well as anyone else who’s posted. I’ll certainly keep following the thread, and hope to see more reports of fun and adventures despite the cold!

Keep going @stanley and keep warm out there.
I did a couple of hours along the river.It was nearly frozen over at the Stockton end.Coming home tonight it was -9C on my bike(windchill included).I kind of got the feeling my concentration and reactions weren’t as good as usual.Must work on my cold weather cycling skills.
Battle on folks

Chemo round 5 tomorrow, so it will probably be back to gentle walks for a few days

@stanley good luck with the treatment. Impressive that you’re doing that and this 100 day challenge.

As for me, yesterday was a fail, managed to get to work around the many train strikes in London no probs and thought I’d be ok to get on the turbo later, but by the time I’d got back home, I had to collect my child from not too far away, but damn traffic took up my remaining free time and I then decided I’d had enough and watched the France WC game.

Today is back to normal
Day 91 early doors swim 2.4 km in 49 minutes and then at lunchtime, nice frosty walk with my daughters and wombat, 3.3 km walk in 44 minutes.

Not long to go now !

I’m finding it relatively comfortable enough that I’m considering keeping it going. I may change my mind on Christmas Day.

Day 91 – Part 2 (forum software won’t let me post all the photos at once)

No hurry to return as I wanted to get some of the fading light later in the afternoon.

Using the drone as a “long tripod” for a couple of selfies. The first is from a still in “follow me” mode.

I was right about the fading light. This is one for @tjagain – looking over to Lochan na h-Earba.

As the sun continued to set I found myself pedalling slower and slower. Eventually I stepped off the bike and just stood, eyes closed, deep breathing for 5-10 minutes.

Had to get this shot on the way back home. We don’t really get sunsets in Aviemore so this was a real treat.

Out for a run this morning. Crunchy trails, snow-laden trees, frozen lochs.

Just to prove I’m not shooting in B&W 🙂

I went out thinking I might make it 10km, if I could manage it. Ended up doing 12km in a decent time (given the conditions) and feeling like I could have carried on. This exercise malarkey might have something going for it!

Morning mooch up to Darwen tower. A walk and views I never get tired of!
Certainly not the best in the world but not bad for a few miles up a hill

Page 3! Updates are slowing down.

The Great Thaw is on so outdoor surfaces are a lovely combination of hard-packed snow/ice covered with water. Really not pleasant.

Saturday’s exercise was some yoga, stretching out the legs and back in particular. Sunday was a couple of hours on Zwift, doing some badge hunting and working towards Level 27.

6 days to go!

close to two weeks lost due to a nasty cold…

D95 – commuting to work, PR’s set on the way home due to the tail wind 🙂
D94 Traditional Pre-Christmas Bike Ride, 18miles off road, had to extend the route twice as conditions are (were) so fast we were in danger of finishing before the pub opened!

D91 – Thursday Night Bike Ride – no idea if the image will work, not even on my own feed EDIT – while it shows for me, if it doesnt for the rest of you, please say..

hoping to finish this with 80 plus days completed – will be happy, particularly by picking back up after a fail, I owe you all thanks for the support and motivation that makes that possible.

You could always add a couple of weeks on @soobalias.

Day 96, swim at lunchtime 2km in 43 minutes. Swimming is a bit boring, but it’s getting me fitter and got me through this challenge.

4 days to go.

Great pics again @scotroutes. Still going although missed another day last week. Think that’s 5 or 6 missed overall but c’est la vie.

Did get a nice snow ride in with Mrs Blitz on Saturday

Well done all

Colin, that mate of yours in the shorts looks bloody frozen!75 minute bike ride along the Tees made interesting by the fight in Stockton library.No pics just use your imagination.Anybody having any problems with battery packs or lights in the cold.Mine seem a bit temperamental at the moment.
