@Jon George and anyone else struggling with their signatures I been in contact with are very own star fairy @Pat "5mph" and she is more than willing to supply the tech wizardry to add it for you

That would be grand! Cheers!

I took about 30 photos today and I reckon I’ll still be sorting them out tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, here are a couple of photos from the centre of Malestroit … for @Cathryn who enjoyed here brief stop here earlier in the year.

I did like Malestroit! Like a little fairytale! I need to cycle round Brittany more!

Job done! Nothing spectacular but nonetheless very satisfying to have completed the 50k challenge. It has been a useful discipline; so often in the past adverse conditions have prompted me to look for an early train home

Finisher no9 ,Well done @gbs on your 1st completion , Good to see the challenge working "making " you get the extra miles I do hope me or the challenge have not been cursed too much during these extra miles
Note could you update the challenge thread as I have a few months missing last ride I have recorded is July so your completion is a nice surprise but your word is good enough for me

13 RIDER, thank you for undertaking the admin and for taking my word for it in an earlier post. My runs in the early part of the year are recorded on P23 and then please see P27 for the later months. I cannot remember why I thought it was a good idea to have split pages - won't do it again!

@gbs ,that explains why I didn't spot them ,it's not really a problem if you wish to continue like that just pop in a post in the chat zone each month to say your done for the month ,this is purely for ease of admin and you'll get more likes 😁 the more you post

I am not conformist in every day life except in matters of admin that others take on for my benefit. So, in 2025 I wll conform.

Thank you!
It has been a struggle to get out some months, but this challenge has got me out on my bike at least once a month amidst house selling, renting, then buying, 2 house moves, house repairs, crap weather...
I'm hoping to get more than the minimum points next year!

December ... ✅

The plan was only a short ride but just kept going.

No pictures from today's ride as it was grey & murky but dry ... 👍
Just the Strava image & an image from a new app I've found Headwind which shows you how windy your ride was, it will also forecast any ride you want to do in the future, links to Strava.

Well done to the other 2024 finishers & I'll see you in 2025 ... 👍

Finisher no11 ,well done @Spartak despite the bad route planning meaning you had more headwind than tailwind
