Not riding tonight yet now only 4 KOM's away from a century.
Gotta love armchair KOM's. Especially 2 in one day.

I've managed 995 kilometres. Must get another 5 before Friday!!!
It's not mega mileage but it's good mileage. No meandering or poodling about. Time is money!
My most impressive May stat is 29 KOM's from beginning May to now. 19 rides totalling 35 hours. After tomorrows club run i will be over the 1000k mark too. I don't see me topping that in a hurry.
I also hold the record for most beer drunk after cycling in May. Surely!!??

I should come in around 1150k by the 31st. Also my biggest month of 2013.1072km for May, was originally going for 800
Going to be my best month of 2013 by around 200 miles
I don't really ride big miles often. I tend to just make the miles i do ride count. Every ride has a purpose these days. You know, i ride to the shops - purpose is milk. I ride to top of the hill - purpose is so i can ride back down it.

That Fizik challenge isn't too easy! 30 hours in two weeks is tough for those who don't commute. I am averaging 10-12 hours a week on the bike and i am out most days! The Fizik challenge could result in premature divorce.

Man or Moose!
People such as myself moan because they are all essentially the same, they are always a case of log some relatively large amount of miles or spend so many hours on the bike. Always quantity over quality. The people over at Strava appear to have no imagination, either that or no desire to offer varied challenges.

You dont need mountains or big hills for the climbing challenges - there was a guy in Texas who completed the Rapha Rising one, he did repeats of a bridge that went over a highway as that was the highest elevation he had!
I still do the mile and time ones but they are more about how much time you can devote to them and if i have that amount of time to be cycling then i'm going to be enjoying myself anyway and a badge isn't going to make it feel better. The climbing ones on the other hand are much shorter but require more effort - trying to squeeze in (for example) 2000 metres climbed in the couple of hours or so i had available each evening was hard going and most definitely not enjoyable until after completion

I was going to have a go at a few more but it had rained all day and the roads were a bit greasy and I didnt want a repeat of what happened 2 years ago (fell off on a wet road and ended up in hospital).

Tbh, I hadn't even noticed the challenges until people on here started moaning about them.
