The 2022 Half Century (50km or 50M) a month challenge chatzone

[13 rider]

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.

I hadn't ruled you out as I like you I expected you just to have popped in a 50km ride each month. But over a year staying heathly is tricky ,Hopefully see you in 2023

Another thanks to @13rider, having someone do this makes all the difference.
The Lanterne Rouge award is an unexpected pleasure!

Shameless plug for 2023 , lots of riding from last year yet to get off the mark for 23 . Ten days to start the maddnes again

 

[bluenotebob]

The last seven days of January look like being a lot nicer than the preceding 24 .. at least, that's the forecast for here - and I would imagine the same holds true for England and Wales.

So for anyone still not off the mark ... don't give up - there's better weather coming...
