@13 rider can relax about me and @Dadam - we met up today and got our qualifying rides done for January!

@Dadam did close to 60 km despite us cutting our route slightly to dodge the coming rain (and to get to the cafe before it closed!).

I was on about 75 km when I got back to Todmorden. I couldn't face having to explain failing to top that up to 80.5+ km to be able to claim a 50-miler so I added a loop to Walsden and back... 81.1 km, 50.4 miles.

Cheers for the push to ride today regardless of the forecast, it worked out pretty well, but the bit from Craggies to the valley bottom was grim. Also cheers for the company again.
Garmin said 37.49 miles, 60.3 km

Welcome to the challenge @Dadam , a nice few entries on the last day which is nice to see , especially nice to see @bruce1530 kick off his 10 campaign with a last day entry ( which seems to be his favoured ride date )
I'm off the mark for February with an eventful Upton loop . Had a puncture at 12 miles which my sealant wouldn't seal so sealant sprayed everywhere . Pulled over tried to plug it but it was a decent gash so put in the tube that's been in my bag for nearly 37000 miles as I have never had to stop at the side of the road since running tubeless and it had a valve that kept unscrewing as I took my pump off . A rider stopped offered me a tube but I run deep section wheels so the stem wasn't long enough .Had to make the call of shame arranged to meet at a cafe a convenient 1/2 a mile away just before the cafe 2 riders pulled over and donated me an appropriate tube so tube swap done cancel rescue and I'm back on my way . Thankfully it was dull but not raining so it could have been worse . But I'm over the line for February

Out in very wet drizzle this morning, I was anxious about February as it is our Golden Wedding Anniversary on the 7th and we are cruising from Southampton on the 8th for 14 nights. I expect to be busy all week so it was today or waiting until after the cruise when I expect to be lugging around a few extra Kilos. Anyway I managed to get a point on the board so can relax now.
