There’s only one way to go about this seriously. So I’m hopefully getting a new bike tomorrow. No excuses.

I’m just getting my last couple of days of crappy eating and drinking in

Been a tough and calorific few days, but I’m nearly ready too.

I don’t even know what this means 😬

Last year it was pretty informal, it’s up to you how you want to log stuff.

I had bits on Strava that would have gone on anyway, other bits like a walk, climb etc I just remembered. We updated eachother on here and tried to encourage everyone, and all remained jealous of scotroutes photos.

Nae pressure then?

Have I missed something? Are there prizes this year?😀
I’m with @AndrewL, never had Strava, all my rides are recorded on my old Garmin.
The whole point of this challenge for me is to try to maintain a reasonable level of fitness when the natural tendency is to do less as the autumn/winter approaches.
This year, the plan is to do a little less pedalling with a little more weight/resistance training to hopefully build some strength which as I’m getting older seems to be fading far more than my overall fitness.
I’ve been riding and doing weights on alternate days with at least two recovery days a week for the last fortnight and so far it’s working well.
Best of luck to everyone having a go, it’s definitely worth the effort!

I’m in. After a crap year or three for cycling and a woeful SSUK trying hard to achieve mid-pack in a race where no ones racing I need a kick up the arse.

I’ve devised the closest thing I can find to the (fairly horrible) SSUK course by linking together all the hardest climbs locally out of the Thames Valley to track how many meters I can climb in 3 hours. So that’s a few solo rides sorted. 3x gym sessions and 3x lunchtime rides with colleagues and it should be achievable. Commuting most days too, not intending to count that, but gives an easy tick in the box if life gets in the way of actual exercise.

I gym, cycle and/or swim daily anyway. I assumed most did on here

Are you new? We just talk about bikes.

Eh? 100 days of exercise, no one said anything about avoiding crappy food or drink!

Just do what you can each day, doesn’t have to be a big effort or anything. Most of my days will most likely be local walks and stretching sessions!

Start weight: 86.3kg. Just want to get that down by the end,no target just a downward trend would be good!

Henry is in. And he will need someone to walk him. I’m in and will endeavour to spend longer on two wheels rather than feet.

Just measured the blubber mountain: 93cm in circumference. Disgraceful. 5k run/wobble for lunch. This is going to hurt.

I skipped breakfast today. Already on the beer tho!
I’ll track my 30+ minutes of activity later on.

105kgs & somewhere around the 36-38″ waist for jeans ect…Could cost me a fortune if I lose too much weight!! Although I do have stuff I would like to fit me again.

Just got a new bike so will hopefully some impetus for this, first ride will be after work about 3:30. Probably ust walks Saturday and sunday as away visiting family.

My wife is going to try and do it as well, she won’t be taking it as seriously as me but it’ll be nice to have some enchoragment.

I took a day off exercise yesterday – my first for a couple of weeks – so I’d be starting “fresh”.

Day 1 done! Sunshine also helped with the motivation 😁 if anyone lives in/near new mills and wants to team up for some rides, I’d love to! Just moved from Manchester and have no friends 😆😭

May as well join in.

10.1km ISUP paddle in 1:40:30 6kmh with 2 portages.

I’m in. Fabulous idea. – 5k run/walk tonight.

Stood on the sad step this morning and it read 19st on the nose. Spent 10 mins of lunch planning a ride for the weekend. Details and progress to follow.

Hopefully I’ll get out for a test ride on the new stead, if not, we are dog sitting this weekend so will fit in a walk instead.

Just completed a 45 minute walk. Might try and up it to a jog.
