Sounds like they are ripening to me... and will stop the plant producing any more.

Wow, long cucumbers.  I agree with saddad, I reakon they are going over so get 'em cut and eat 'em up.  I tend to pick mine when they are between 6 and 8 inches long (or according to Ava, 12 to 14 inches long.  :P :o ;D)
