140k to go for me. 40k ish tonight and then a Sunday ride outside unless the weather is awful. It's looking pretty decent (dry) at the moment though.

[cougie uk]

Finished today. Man it's wet and muddy out there.
When is it summer again?

When is it summer again?

This winter is booked to last until April 16th. Spring will be April 17th - June 2nd. Summer 2024 will be June 3rd - June 19th, and followed by a premature autumn beginning on June 20th and dragging on until a similarly premature winter, which starts on Bonfire Night in 2024!

Based on this, I've booked that period off work, you better be correct.

160km to go. Anyone else doing it ?

 

[AlanW]

Sadly yes, despite every year saying l'm not doing it again!! But about 100km to go but should do that tomorrow all being well.

yes although only on zwift , i have a similar amount to go.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Family events meant I couldn’t do any activity for two days and working two other days, so a no from me.

I’ve got 3 or more ‘mates’ who have already completed this. All miles done outside…..

In saying that one of those is a ‘Semi Professional’ rider / Triathlete who’s always on his bike or running. I saw a few weeks ago he’d clocked up 16’000 miles on his bike alone this year. Without walking or running. That’s 300 cycling miles a week. Average 😳

Kudos to anyone who finished the Festive 500. Outdoors especially 👍

Doing a real metric century today to complete the distance

 

[Milzy]

I might do it outside in July. Indoors is just cheating especially when in the draft of a giant blob. 🙄

Completed it today all on road. A dry and not much wind for x7 days helped massively.
