The city century. The town tonne. The village... erm... very far...

Citycycling is laying down a challenge, one which we're pretty sure you've cottoned onto pretty quickly.

We want you to ride 100 miles in your town. Simple as that. Well, okay, not quite that simple.

There are rules y'know...

The rules are:

1. Routes must not use the same bit of road twice. It is permissible to cross an already used piece of road by going over or under by use of a bridge, tunnel or big ramp.

2. Routes need not be completed in one go (were not sadists here!), but they must be photographically documented and mapped.

3. You must send us the photographic documentation and mapping (otherwise what's the point?) for us to verify the route.

4. That's it.

Once you've devised a route, and cycled the combined length of it simply email the details to us at onehundredchallenge@citycycling.co.uk

Naturally, this being a competition, the first route in will win a special edition t-shirt (can we get a 'wooooo!'), but the fun doesn't stop there. The competition will run until we pretty much get bored with it, and person with the 100 mile route in the smallest town will also be in the prizes.

And if that isn't incentive enough to half-kill yourself riding 100 miles round the town of your choice as the weather approaches winter I don't know what is!

A very very handy tool for planning your route can be found here and can also be used to send us a copy of your century.

And one last thing....

Good luck
