Thanks for the reminder. Got over my cold but now seems to be lots of pre Christmas things taking up my time.

Early monthly update as its an important month . We have 29 riders fully posted up which leaves 8 riders with rides up to December . A nudge for @ColinJ ,@Spinney ,@Katherine ,@StuartG ,@Chris Doyle ,@Rob and Alison ,@lane and @Ice2911 . Still missing a November and December ride for @demro

I'm planning on getting mine in on Xmas day. Haven't done my Severn Loop for a couple of years, put off by several encounters with inconsierate lorries the last time I did it. But they should all be stuffing their faces somewhere on Wed. So if my rubber legs and unfit body make it, it might even be a metric century!

Managed to get it done today. Very mild day for December. Enjoyable ride on the Derbyshire / Leicestershire border. Still didn't feel back to full fitness after some virus but the main thing is that the challenge is complete. Also it was good to get back on the bike.

We have a late entry who's done Jan to Dec . Well done @Jenkins . Bringing the total to 33 finishers equaling the highest number of finishers over the 5 years of the challenge

Yes, Stig completed the half century for his second year, and although we didn't sign him up for it, he managed 7 months of the metric century challenge, so we will sign him up for both next year.

That's my record up to date, was hoping to get another ride in but don't think I'll manage it

A ride to Mum's on Christmas Eve bearing pressies and a Santa hat was the almost perfect way to reach my 100 point total. I say almost as the showers, wind and drizzle took the edge off the climb from Belmont to Rivington.
I still can't believe how many rides and points i've amassed since my humble first go at the challenge in 2017.

The problem will be to top it.

Looking at my stats I have done 80 rides and clocked up 5,554 Kms. I missed about 4 weeks in February/March after my prostate surgery.

Thanks to Colin for setting up the challenge and 13 rider for keeping us all on track.
