Silver star sounds good, we can aspire to a gold one - though would be happy with a broon jobby for what it represents!!

Making my debut here with a 102Km ride up to Skeffington and down to Great Bowden taking in a few villages between. 100Km not usually a problem but the weather normally gets in the way this time of year. Still that's January's done!

did we reach a conclusion about the official record thread - new thread titled 2015 for the new year given the challenge runs from Jan to Jan?
so far I think I had 1 person agree? did anyone else want to. tis what has happened with the imperial century thread

Jesus Christ now I'm finding this I've entered wind rush winter warm down 108k in February 1st do I need to start this challenge in jan or can I start in February ?

according the the "challenge" rules "Your first ride must be in January" though I think this was relaxed by the first "chatzone" thread, so the answer is - I don't know! I'm pretty sure most of us work Jan-Dec.

Well I started logging mid-year, having first observed this rule - which it turned out that everyone had forgotten about.
Other people have also joined in mid year.
If you start logging in Feb, no problem. But when it comes to December you won't have 2015 bragging rights, cos you won't have done the whole year.
But if you miss a month, I don't know whether you should drop out until the start of next year. Maybe so, otherwise this just becomes the "100k ride when I fancy it" log thread. Although that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I know the imperial thread is really strict about calendar years and stuff, but they are all super tuff and eat barbed wire for breakfast.

Well I didn't ride in July due to illness and didn't log any more rides for the year because of this, even though I did 100km+ rides in the following months. Has to be Jan - Dec, otherwise what's the point?

That's always been my thinking (actually didn't realise there was any other option until today) but it's not my thread - I don't make the rules, I only ride here...
I don't think there are any rules for the Metric challenge set in stone...perhaps be a good idea for someone to set some parameters for the challenge.
