A rather pompous reminder on formatting of posts in this thread.
To log a ride, add a post containing all of your 2016 metric centuries to date. One ride per line, with the date, distance, short route description, and any links you want to add. Do not post just a link.

When you add a post, copy all of the rides from your previous post so that your latest post contains all of your ride.

You can add links to Strava, RideWithGPS, MapMyRide, Endomondo etc if you wish, but these are not mandatory.

Photos, maps, and subjective thoughts on the ride or the challenge in general should go elsewhere, for example The Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge ChatZone


See this thread for examples.

Happy 100k-ing everyone.

A little reminder on formatting rules:

Please show the description for every ride. That is, your latest post should show the details of ALL of your qualifying rides. When you add a ride, you copy all preceding rides and add the new one. So ALL of them are shown.

Please do NOT post just a link.

To log a ride, add a post containing all of your 2016 metric centuries to date. One ride per line, with the date, distance, short route description, and any links you want to add. Do not post just a link.
