So that was the total (7) who made it last year then?
Just clarifying - sorry if the question is a bit dopey!

That's right. 7 people completed the challenge last year, out of the 21 who started in the January. There should be a lot more this year.
Yes the magnificent seven @13 rider ,@ColinJ ,@MikeW-71 ,@Spinney ,@gavgav ,@themosquitoking and last but not least @Katherine

I'm thinking about using this challenge as a training springboard to go for another 100 miler this year. But let's see how I feel in a couple of months, hey? I will keep you posted ...

I want to get the metric and imperial centuries in the bag this year as well, but I doubt I could manage one at the minute (or every month!).
Roll on the long days and warmer weather.

Have a look at the actual challenge thread (below) and the OP describes how to use it and then update from there. Good luck this year!

Thanks. I post on that thread but somebody was asking for confirmation of who was "in"!

Sorry - my misunderstanding.
Hi Gina you seem to be posting in the wrong thread should be in the challenge thread not the chatzone.
Well done on the points so far I only managed 70 odd points last year , your on 30 in the first month
.You should reach your target mileage easily at this rate

Two rides planned for the weekend despite iffy weather forecast - and last night I get a sore throat that loomed out of nowhere at precisely 7.07pm. 
I'm now aching all over with a drippy snout contemplating what to do as I clearly have a dose of the sniffles.
What's the score? Do you ride through sniffles or laze about feeling sorry for yourself but secure in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing for your body?
NB: my arm still hurts from my mountain accident a few weeks back. Not sure if this ought to be a factor or not.
Advice appreciated. Do I go or do I stay?
PS: @GinaC You do know how to make an old man feel inadequate - 30 points already!

Feeling like you, sore throat, blocked nose, achey etc. I'll be missing out on a bike ride this weekend. I'd rather get better!!

Ground out a wet and cold 58.3km this morning. Glad to bank my half century for this month nice and early - the rain arrived when I was at pretty much the furthest point from home so there was no option of wimping out (although it did ensure it would be a metric half, not an imperial one). 
I've got plans for tomorrow that will limit bike riding opportunities, so naturally tomorrow morning looks set for wall to wall sunshine around here, just with 30+mph winds...if the Met Office is to be believed.

Well done to everyone who is up & running for Feb'.
No Feb' points yet as I have been guzzling Benylin to damp down the hacking cough that feels like the night of a thousand knives in my chest.
Hurry up next weekend!

I not off the mark yet usually I like to get a ride in early but today I rode a metric century as I'm doing that challenge as well and am doing separate rides for each challenge so next weekend for me . plenty of time yet for you to get well
