That's what I thought too. Maybe some clarification is needed, otherwise the thread is going to become very lengthy! Maybe a fresh thread for each year would be good, and edit original posts?

I can see the idea of editing the posts, but if you happen to be the person whose first qualifying ride was Jan 1st, then your post will be lost at the top of page 1, while laggards report their Jan 31st rides on page 4 and get all the attention!

I think the best compromise would be to start a new thread each year in January and copy our posts and add to them, then repost at the end of the thread?

All mine are on page 4 - takes me ages to find it to update it
