30 metric centuries in 30 days. Possible?

I've been unemployed for a long time aswell and been using cycling to keep the boredom off and stay fit, but never thought about doing something like this

Although i have been looking at some long distance charity rides

You could do London-John'o'Groats-Lands End-London in 30 days at 100km a day

What you need is a metric century plan to take you round the various sofas and spare rooms of the road.cc forumites. A couchsurfing-cum-metric-century adventure.

Who's up for giving rbx a berth for the night?

are you taking a month off, or fitting it round work and stuff?

Either way, chapeau for the idea. now to make it a reality...

It's a good challenge but one that's achievable, i'd say. only you can find out how your body would hold up to the consistent effort, but a 100km ride on a decent road bike shouldn't beat you up too much.

I'd major on comfort over speed for your bike: 25mm tyres, carbon seatpost, good saddle, not too low at the front. maybe get some gel inserts for your bars too.

james-o mentioned what i first thought whilst reading your post, that is vary your route.. even better take some panniers/tent and go round the country, easy to get a metric c. in every day and you get to see some other places.

As said above, it depends on your intended pace but there's no reason why not. Long-term fatigue will set in but you can do a few slow spinny days as effective recovery. Good recovery drinks + food plus proper sleep each night will make a big difference. Vary the route too otherwise it'll just become a dull numbers game.

Go for it! You've posted the idea online now - BMX rules say once you've called it, you gotta do it : )

Depends how fast you're going really, if you're trying to do each ride in 2-4 then maybe you'll be pushing yourself too hard, if you're aiming for 5-7 hours ride time then you can afford a more relaxed pace, spin in lower gears, spend less energy, less wear and tear generally. But only you can know how your body reacts to excersise, in my experience, even with light excersise like swimming for an hour a night, I need a day off at least twice a week..

If your not bothered about doing them in a certain then anyone should be able to do it without injury or harm, its when you start aiming for certain times everyday then your going to push your body further than its capable and risk doing something major to it, steady pace and you'll be fine
