Nothing much I could do to retrieve November lost to illness/and bad weather first weekend of the month when I could have ridden, but I have managed to scrape round 50km today. Just for my own head, I'm out of this challenge too. Long road to getting fitness back now.
Thank you so much @13 rider for encouragement, organisation, chat and generally being a great egg.
December ride done! Very hard to summon up the enthusiasm, but the ride had to be done as soon as the weather looked reasonable. It didn't bother me too much going out in the cold when I was commuting but now thats over I seem to get comfortable inside and don't want to get out. Thats what the challenge is about though, so it is doing its job.
Slight variation of my standard loop but didn't get the distance quite right so had to go round the block a couple of times to reach the required distance for the lunacy challenge.
Only 29 days to the start of next year's challenge!

Of course, you could wait until 31st Jan and effectively give yourself a two month break. I may have considered this myself.
Well we all know it's hot and sunny on the 31st... (but not in this country)Of course, you could wait until 31st Jan and effectively give yourself a two month break. I may have considered this myself.
That's a shame ,take care and get ready for 2021
Thanks for the kind words it is a bit like herding cats a times but I do enjoy it

That would explain the 228,000 feet of uphill according to Strava then. Which is.....(mental maths, then calculator)....76 feet every mile. Or 14m per km or 1400m in 100km which is below the threshold for Audax Altitude points, so that means it is quite hilly but not really hilly. Must stop avoiding big hills next year. New target for 2021 is going to be 8000 km and 120000 metres ascent (using Audax measure of hilliness which is more than 15m per km).Well done @footloose crow ,3000 mainly hilly Cornish miles in the year you've had is not bad going
Or 5000 miles and 394000 feet uphill in old money.
I like targets.
Can I echo @Cranky Knee Girl 's comment about you? I also thank you for your support and encouragement @13 rider. You give a lot of us a reason to get out when its a bit miserable outside. Appreciate you making this challenge happen.

Dec ride done yesterday. Nearly didn't go as it was piddling down at 7.30 so decided to wait for half an hour to see if it eased. 8.00 and it stopped, never to start again! Not only was I dry all the way around but actually saw the sun once or twice. Still cold thought.
Thanks @13 rider for organising again this year, looking forward to next year.
