Thank you. We really should celebrate as my knees have just about made it.
I won’t be in next year’s challenge as I’m going for pre-op assessment in a couple of weeks and hoping to have a date for surgery for simultaneous bilateral knee replacements in the new year

Ooph simultaneous, I didn't think they did them both together anymore. I had a TKR on my right in 2008, the guy in the opposite bed had had both done at once. Never been fitter and trying to preserve mine as long as possible now. I started cycling in 2014. Good luck with it all. It will be worth it. Massive congrats.

Have posted another possible solution in the Signature Issue thread linked above - however it may end up being overtaken if it turns out Shaun can actually fix it in the back end. It might be a good workaround for someone for now anyway.

This challenge is getting addictive, chasing 100 points so out this morning to visit mum but added a loop through Tockholes and Riley Green. Got home as the light was going and the temperature was dropping with 83.6 Kms and two more points. The wind got stronger as the day went on and the A6 was a headwind all the way from Heath Charnock to Walkden.

Hopefully out with the Chorlton Wanderers on Sunday............It may be possible.

It was an effort. Struck down with Male Specific Dreadful Lurgy a month ago, and only now feeling normal. But thanks again for organising this challenge. Helps me a lot.

Can you ride the missing 0.7km now and then you’ll have completed 50 km in a day. Well, 24 hours anyway!

I hope so, but after an accident in 2018 lost me 6 weeks and I ended on 98 points and an illness in December last year left me on 99 points I’m taking nothing for granted.

Got my final ride of the year in today (52km). Fortunately, I did November's ride on the 3rd, unfortunately I sprained my wrist a couple of days after. All healed up now and December's ride in the bag. Not been on the bike in the real world (the odd Zwift session where I could 'ride' one-handed) since spraining my wrist and my goodness I knew about it today. Fitness has suffered. Got round though in the end which is what counts.
