No figure of eights or laps allowed? Noooo, not happy with that one!
I don't think starting point can have anything to do with it though I can see that there is potential for abuse here

Oh, Ok then, maybe laps are allowed, but definitely no returning to your normal place of residence for coffee & a snack in front of the telly - such indulgences must be restricted to cafes!Rolf F wrote:neeb wrote:If you do it all on the same day, don't change out of your cycling kit at any point and don't return to your original starting point until the end, I reckon it counts.

What if one goes for a ride with a person of the female persuasion, who is so enamoured of one's finely toned calves and carefully matched seat, handlebar tape and pixie-boots that she requests a brief stop for immediate satisfaction?MajorMantra wrote:Ok, I'll propose a rule: it counts as one ride if you don't take your kit off.
So even if you have a 2 hour lunch stop, it still counts as one ride. On the other hand, riding to work, changing, working for 8 hours, then changing again and riding home counts as 2 rides.
Yes?
In that case a panel of experts appointed by the UCI will assess your performance and determine whether your *ahem* ride should be annulled.0 -

I like the kit removal distinction, however a discussion of the distance and the time taken should have an asterix if a two hour lunch break was taken I reckon...
That said, the number of miles done is day is a great bit of political spin that I fully intend to start using!! For example, I may do 60km off road during an MTB marathon, but they ll be in 6 laps of 10km, commonly with a 2 - 3 hour break between...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
