[Dogtrousers]

A quick reminder. Please don't just post links or dates and distances.

Not necessarily a big deal, but it looks better when everyone has the full set of rides. See The 2015 Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge for a nice example.

To log a ride, add a post containing all of your 2016 metric centuries to date. One ride per line, with the date, distance, short route description, and any links you want to add. Do not post just a link.

When you add a post, copy all of the rides from your previous post so that your latest post contains all of your rides.

You can add links to Strava, RideWithGPS, MapMyRide, Endomondo etc if you wish, but these are not mandatory.

Photos, maps, and subjective thoughts on the ride or the challenge in general should go elsewhere, for example The Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge ChatZone

See this thread for examples.
