The 2022 Half Century (50km or 50M) a month challenge chatzone

[13 rider]

Welcome to the 8th edition of the half century a month challenge
This thread is just for chatting about the challenge the challenge thread will be up for the 1st Jan
The challenge is a popular as ever and it seems the 2021 challenge worked out how it should by compelling riders to be out riding when otherwise wouldn't have been, it's addictive isn't it
I once again be acting as general task master ,encouraging and some say bullying you along and Trying to keep everyone in order
Good luck everyone who enters may 2022 be a good cycling year

I only joined the site in the middle of the year, so haven't taken part in this before.

But will definitely be trying for at least the 50Km ride every month. I haven't yet done a 50 mile ride at all, so trying for one a month of those might be a tad ambitious

Hi @Alex321 ,the minimum required to complete the challenge is 1 50km ride a month ,50m is just an optional extra as you get fitter .Some people challenge themselves to do both distance once a month but this is optional as your just challenging yourself .
There is a point based tally 1 point or 50km and 2 for 50m etc but it's not a competition the idea is complete the first year then you have points total to beat for some extra motivation works for some , others just ride and don't count points it's up to you
Throw your hat in the ring and I'm sure you will enjoy it . We are a friendly bunch mainly

Arghh, I'll say yes again and see how we go

 

[Rob and Alison]

Count the three of us in again.
We may try for one per month with Stig and one on the Tandem.

Mmm, last year was sporadic at best because of an accident and covid and I've now moved house an area that has really poor cycling routes but hey ho, in for a penny in for a pound.

 

[C R]

I'll be trying too.

 

[slow scot]

I’m in too. Despite the cruel taskmaster!😋

 

[Osprey]

Count me in. It’s just the motivation I need 👍

 

[Jenkins]

Another one signing up for 2022

 

[steverob]

Should I really be signing up before I've even completed the 2021 challenge? (I'll be in it anyway, who am I kidding?)

 

[steveindenmark]

Im back after injury. Go on then Im in

 

[bruce1530]

Oh, I suppose so

 

[Noodle Legs]

I’m in!

Apart from the ludicrous task I have set myself in recent times by endeavouring to post the first ride of the month, I am (without the aid of alcohol, but that might be rectified after posting this) will state that I intend to go for a 50 point year in 2022.
There, I'm committed to attempting it now. Or, at least, I should be committed ...
Good luck, everyone!
