I’m currently recovering from a minor operation, been off the bike for nearly 3 weeks so I’m nowhere close to being fit enough for a century ride.
A few years ago, I planned a night-time solstice century starting / finishing at a big stone circle near mine. Was actually all set for it – sunset at the stone circle, straight on the bike and back for sunrise was the plan. And then the weather forecast was rubbish, so on about the Thursday evening I decided against it. Was glad I binned it off, it ended up raining all night and there was no real sunset / sunrise!
I’ve only done one Imperial Century so far this year.
