Finisher no27 ,another one of the 100km riders has done a separate 50km ride and kept his promise to me in another thread to do it today
Well done @steverob

And hopefully someone else will come along and post between now and the new year, so I won't be the final finisher for a third year in a row!

Have just replaced you as the Lantern Rouge of this group!

Big thanks once again to 13 Rider - would have been easier to miss one of these but actually I'm proper chuffed I made it.

Proof I'm a competent cyclist and have maintained a level of fitness that will enable me to build upto some exciting new challenges tbc!

Comparison of 'first two keen years' on Strava (did approx another 250km each year on 100 short trips)
Rides Total Distance km Average time ridden hrs Av. distance
2022 87 3900 2 45
2021 135 4200 1.66 31

The year was skewed as I prepared for an event in Feb that I didn't do and Ride 100 at the end of May which I did.
I thus had 36 points for Jan-May(5 months) and only 25 for June-Dec. Still 61 points is a big increase IIRC on previous year, despite less distance.

Happy Cycling New Year everyone.

Not been out on the bike since December 2, put my back out later in the day, weather not been too appetising and have now got a streaming cold. Thank goodness I went out when I did.
Will call it done for 2022. Thanks for the organising and encouragement .

If health and weather permit I'm looking at a quick start on Jan 1. Watch this space (or one very much like it)

Managed the points bit in my sig but yet again copy and paste of a 6th bronze star is a step too far me.

@Pat "5mph" can you help @Domus please

 

[13 rider]

Doing some general housekeeping and posting next year's threads and I've discovered my high tech paper tick list has failed ( user error) and I've missed a finisher so a belated well done to @Eribiste who's down as finisher 29 ( because I can't be bothered to go back and alter everyone's finish number) despite the the fact he finished on 4th of Dec
So despite me saying no nudge list this month ,I going to gentlely nudge the last 5 riders @cosmicbike ,@Sbudge ,@Milkfloat ,@tfc03 and @Cranky Knee Girl ( both Nov and Dec)

 

[13 rider]

I discovered my error I ticked off the wrong person I had congrulated @Eribiste ( who was finisher 12) and ticked off the wrong person
So an emergency nudge for @dickyknees

Last challenge ride for the year done in the wind and rain today! The bronze star is too complicated for me too!
