The 2014 Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Hmmm lets see: 12 x 100k, in December, in Scotland = Broken Fubar

Although if I need to chase my MyCyclingLog total....

I would lend you some of my miles (without my speed/lack of), but with 2 operations looming in the near future, I think I need all of the ones I can get, so can I book you in for say 4 * 100km per month from now to the end of the year? that will give you the odd weekend off every now and again... (And as a Scot, or at least someone who was born there, I don't accept Scotland or weather as an excuse... ()...)

4 x 100k per month!?!? You'd have to be mental to agree to that!!! Oh, hang on......

I thought I had sussed out the points system, but now feel lost... 9pts and 12 pts are missing from your list! So how do you apply them (not that I'll even rate anywhere, but still hoping to get a 100km ride in this month (n+1 tomorrow so there is now a chance!)

100+km's = 1 pt, 200+ km's = 2pts, 300+kms = 3 pts etc

Hope Ianrauk doesn't mind me speaking on his behalf but it's 1 point for 100km and 2 points for 200km, etc. hence the jump from 8 to 10 points when he rode 211km.

Enjoy your ride.

100+km's = 1 pt, 200+ km's = 2pts, 300+kms = 3 pts etc

OK - understand now.
