Introduction

About the Chart Archive - Of course everything in a blog is an archive of some shape or form, but for Bike Wales this is what I consider my "first era". This section documents the first 10 years I spent cycling and discovering this lovely little country. And it's not just about the numbers, there are some fabulous stories behind most every ride.

OVERVIEW
Solitaires: 2016 - 2021

In 2016 I began tracking my metric centuries. This page compiles and compares the totals from each year along with each specific route.
As my cycling progressed, I found that I was often riding distances of 62.14 miles (a metric century) or more. As a spreadsheet/number fanatic, I soon began highlighting those unique rides in yet another set of tables. Over the next few years this further developed and I now distinguish my rides at 25k intervals (the one exception being 161k which equals 100 miles, for obvious reasons).

Solitaires Summary Table
Shown below is a simple overview of all my rides which exceeded 100k for the years 2016 through 2021. If you select the year (underlined in the left column) you can view the full details of that specific year. However, short overviews of each year can also be viewed further down the page.

Additional Numbers
I've got the data, so I've got to put it somewhere! And if you've made it this far — good on you! I'll stop myself now...
