Well, actually, seeing as you're calling me out on it...
I didn't do three centuries, I did 41 miles (or something) fixed, 84 then the century today. All separated by three weeks because I didn't feel up to doing any rides in the weeks between.
This was because I picked up some kind of serious chest infection type thing in October (they never actually managed to work out exactly what it was, possibly bacterial bronchitis or walking pneumonia) which destroyed my lung capacity, made me massively wheezy and gave me a 'Joe Grundy from the Archers' style cough. And made me permanently knackered.
I only really started feeling properly better a few weeks ago, I had it for about six months. Some days I didn't have the energy to ride to work (and it's only four miles) and some days I had to work from home because I didn't even have the energy to go to the office on public transport.
So with all due respect, I do rather think I belong here :)
