Snuck another 50km in this morning ,needed a few miles to complete the Festive 500 ,I had done 40km on the turbo earlier in the week although these count I felt compelled to do these outside so today's went up to 42miles so I've done 500km since Xmas eve outside

Unfortunately I have missed the last chance.
Weather, wind and what GP thinks that I might be in the realms of long Covid.
The hip bursitis now diagnosed as osteoarthritis in both hips with spurs on both and also suffering a severe dose of CBA means I must try again next year. Thank you @13 rider for keeping track and the nudges.

Happy New Year to all.

Well all good things and that. Never quite managed to make the time this month, and today was the last chance. A toss up between soaking wet bike ride or getting soaking wet as a volunteer at my local greyhound welfare, the dogs won out I'm afraid. Seems a shame but I managed 6 years, recently it's become harder to find the time as the welfare of these magnificent creatures has taken up more and more of my free time. Maybe I'll try again in '23, in the meantime a big thank you to @13 rider for keeping me in the game for so long, your subtle nudges made me get out when I really didn't want to and helped me go explore places I wouldn't otherwise end up.

That's a shame @cosmicbike ,hope you get your mojo back soon ,Good work volunteering though

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)

Oooppps, I thought I had posted. Will do it now, by the skin of my teeth.

I am just rubbish at admin.

Somehow I totally failed a 50km in Nov, did a perishing cold 82km riding to and fro to stamp brevet cards on an audax control Dec 10th but weather illness and general incompetence in noticing I'd only done a 41km in Nov means I have failed. i always presume a 50km will be done without thinking about it, did one 31st Oct! Also 100 mile challenge which is the one I was mainly aiming for, is down and out. I've down 18 100 milers but none Nov/Dec. Thank you @13 rider for all your excellent motivation, paperwork and general cheery disposition.
