I'm out, as of March, sadly. Inlaws over for two weeks and then a few DIY weekends killed any hope of long rides. Good luck everyone else thoughOffroad - http://www.flickr.com/photos/85423376@N06/8580404560

Hi everyone,
I will be flying to New Zealand on the 1st of March, and will be spending the next god knows how many hours in airplanes and airports. So, if you want a February ride tallied, make sure you have entered it by midnight on the 28th. I probably won't be able to correct totals until around the 10th.

Hope I'm not too late for this. I have done the rides in January and February but on just discovered the thread.

mmm ---have slipped down rankings, crash mid Feb (pedal came off :shock: ) has cost me two x 100 rides in Feb.
But March may pick things up with planned 1 x 100, 3 x 200, 1 x 300 all on my calendar
0 -
I hear you James. Bad back has kept me off the bike -- ironically the only rides I did were to stay in this challenge! but well done to 1-8 as those are serious stats -- 2 years ago doing 2 rides would secure top 5!0
-
I posted my Feb ride late but still intend to do one a month ( can send you my Strava link if you'd like to check it )0
-
Got back from holiday to find out I am going to Korea next week and might not be at home for any weekends in March. Hopefully will manage to find time to fit the ride in anyway... Could be a night time century!0
-
I'm out - my one week trip has turned into a 3 week trip and I'm not going to be home again in March.
I did think about turning it down, it was a tough choice between 2 weeks in Rio and internet cycling competition
Although I hear they have a Boris bike type scheme in Rio so maybe I could do 100km up and down the beach...0 -
Apologies for adding to the extraneous posts but wanted to enquire whether it's acceptable to do this commuting ie 50k in 50k home with a working day between or whether I have to do all 100k home from work? Obviously I realise this way it's not a single ride but unfortunately due to doing a standard length duathlon last weekend and the running training that had to go into making it possible prevented me from completing the challenge so far this month!0
-
There was a debate about this in 2014 and as I recall ruling was that as long as you remained in cycling gear (or possibly sporting gear) then a split ride was OK---but Durrin`s the boss on this---ie a commute wasn`t acceptable0
-
Yeah we decided that a commute / work / commute didn't count as a true metric. Idling at lunch in your Lycra for a few hours yes, but you are still on the ride ... a clear break to work is not really in keeping with the spirit of this. As James said, we had a long debate. But nd of day, this is self reported & on a honor system; so no one will verify whether one did a single ride, or did it in 5 segments, including a shower.
I am finding March dreadful this year too ... Between my injury & the weather I have struggled to even do 30 miles. And dead calm, looks like you are shirking, what with those 80 km rides.0 -

Unfortunately I'm out for this year. 4 broken ribs, punctured lung and fractured collar bone.
Caused by bike shimmy at 38mph on the hill that leads down to Dorking from Coldharbour in the Surrey hills.
Good luck to all participants this year.
Thanks Durrin I've really enjoyed taking part in this challenge the last couple of years.0 -

Haha. Yes, what with work, smog and the incredible heat we've had here in Chiang Mai, the miles haven't been coming as easily as they did in January. Seriously worried about May.
