The concept is simple:
Ride at least one century in each calendar month through 2008.
The rules:
-A century is a single ride of at least 100.0 miles as measured on a reasonably accurate cycle computer. 99.9 miles or less is not a century.
-Breaks/stops during the ride are permitted for refreshment/repairs/sightseeing etc but stops to sleep and stops at your home are not permitted.
-A qualifying century cannot start before 0001hrs on the morning of the first day of the calendar month.
-For qualifying rides ridden on the last day of the month: the 100.0 mile mark must have been passed by 2359.59 hrs on that day.
-If you miss a month you are out of the challenge, no exceptions for any reason, riding more than one century in a month does not entitle you to miss a month in lieu.
-Centuries ridden on rollers/turbo trainers/indoor velodromes do not count towards the challenge.
-Qualifying rides should be posted in a Register thread which will be started and stickied on Jan 1 in Road, Audax and Sportives section. Simply post once and subsequently edit that one post each month....for an example of what that should look like check here: http://www.bikeradar...2517565&start=0
-This thread will be a Century A Month Chat thread specifically for posting comments, planned rides, bowing out excuses etc which will keep the main Register as neat and tidy as possible.
-Usual safety and responsibility cop out disclaimers apply blah blah blah...own risk...your fault nobody elses...yadda yadda yadda.
Prizes:
All those that successfully ride a century in each month of 2008 will receive a virtual pat on the back from your equally successful peers.
To celebrate the Fifth year of this challenge all previously successful riders from the first 4 years are entititled to display, in their Register thread post, a special star
for every previous yearly challenge they have successfully completed.
