@RWright Congrats on completeing the challenge, ready for the next one?

@AndyPeace Just felt like mentioning since your story resembles a lot my first transition to STI Shifters. Are you positive that what it feels like a tripple shifter is not just the Trim function on the Shimano STI shifter? The shifter has two click either way and it may feel like it's a tripple but this is actually a function that helps eleminate the chain rub on the front derailleur when cross chained on the double by moving the front cage 1/3 way through. In my case there was too much cable tention and trim was not working but I kept wondering for a while why the two clicks, until I read about it on the forums somewhere.

Forgot about this you also get this on a triple. I must try the 30th ring at some point today and see how I got with the adjustments.

I have a few things I have to take care of early in August but I will probably do the next one, unless it is something that is quite a bit more than I know I will have time for....I will still probably do it anyway.. so to answer your question, YES lets do another one!!!

Sooner or later I'll have to join in on these crazy Challanges ... I'm just hoping I'll get one that fits into my chaotic work schedule ... a shame I don't have a place to comute to and from

@MaxInc - I join these challenges without any hope of completing them, but usually aim to get to 25% or 50% mark if possible. Bit of fun really.

Me too, I never think I will finish them tbh, but its nice sometimes just to get recognition for 250km or whatever, one day I will have the time/fitness to finish one so I see it as an aspirational thing.
