I was home just after 1.

Added my star now I've done 50 miles too, just need another 4 points to get to my target for the year

Mudguards back on, at least I'm a bit cleaner, even if the bike isn't Normal gloves and shorts today too, very mild for December.

Another year's half century challenge completed, that makes 6 in a row. Doesn't seem to get any easier but still just as rewarding!

Anyone wishing to add a star to their signature hopefully you can copy and paste this ( only when you've finished ,I will notice ) . Any issue let me know and I know a friendly mod who can help .
I have noticed @Jon George is proudly displaying his 2021 star

I was always have a problem adding these to my signature with copy and paste. What I've found that consistently works is to right-click on the star element, select 'Inspect' from the drop-down menu, click on the piece of html in the window that opens that has the 'star' information. This gives the option of the duplicating the element.
Job done!
(There are probably easier ways ...)

Guess I need to venture outside on a bike at some point. I've found the last few months difficult in trying to find motivation when working from home to leave the house on the bike.

Not necessarily easier, but I right clicked on the little bugger and used "Copy image address" and then when in my signature used the "Insert Image" link. As you mention, normal copy and paste doesn't seem to work

I’m over the line too – I’d have hoped to have done it earlier in December but the weather (and other commitments) pushed me back.

A really cold ride today – around 6 degrees, low cloud and a chilly wind from the E. A variation of my normal Gaël, Trémorel, Illifaut triangle – instead of going directly from Gaël to Trémorel, I headed NE and looped through St Onen-la-Chapelle and St Méen-le-Grand – and I came into Trémorel from the E on the V6 Voie Verte – I’d cycled the V6 before but not on my road bike. It’s a gritted surface but better than I remember. Food for thought for future rides in this challenge.

Finishers no13 and no14 ,Well done @footloose crow (unlucky 13) and @bluenotebob
Good to see @footloose crow complete this year's after a couple of previous attempts but he keeps coming back for more and surviving an injury crisis this year
Also good see you @bluenotebob finish again after last year's attempt was halted by Frances strict lockdown

If the weather holds I was thinking a post Christmas ride 27/28th may be in order

Many thanks @13 rider I have had a blast doing this and am thoroughly looking forward to next year now. I still hope to get a few more rides before the end of the year and will update accordingly.

Congrats to all that have completed so far and good luck to those that are still to complete.

And thanks also to yourself for keeping us all in check and on our toes, great job

Edit: Would @Pat "5mph" be kind enough to add the start for me also please 😊
