The 2025 Metric Century a Month Challenge

[Ajax Bay]

This thread is only for the logging of your qualifying ride.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING ELSE BUT QUALIFYING RIDES IN THIS THREAD

To log a ride, add a post containing all of your 2025 metric centuries to date. Ideally one ride per line, with the date, distance, a short route description, and any links you want to add. Do not just post a link. See last year's thread for examples of how others have formatted their entries.

You can add links to Strava, RwGPS, MapMyRide, Endomondo etc. if you wish. Photos, maps, and commentary on the ride or the challenge in general should go elsewhere: The Metric Century (100KM) A Month Challenge ChatZone thread is recommended.

The rules are as follows:

• You must complete at least one ride of least 100km (a metric century) in each calendar month. If you miss a month then you are out of the challenge until next year.
• The 100km must be in a single ride and counts in the month it starts (if across midnight). Breaks for meals, repairs, sightseeing, ferries, trains etc. are allowed, but not two or more separate rides.
• All qualifying rides are to be completed entirely outdoors on roads or other surfaces. If challengers expect that they will find riding 100+km outdoors in the current or a future month due to e.g. serious injury, there might be a possibility for an exemption to be granted to use a stationary ride in its place as a one-off - however this must be sorted in advance by 'acclaimed agreement' by other participants: initiate such a request by posting in the ChatZone thread.
• There is an optional points competition. Give yourself one point for each complete 100km ridden as part of the challenge: one point for a 100+km ride, two for a 200+km ride, three for 300+km and so on. You cannot carry over distance from one ride to the next. Share a running total of your points in your ride log if you wish.
• You may join the challenge in any month during the calendar year (since the idea is to provide motivation to complete at least one 100km ride per month, every month), but you can only join once per calendar year (since a key element of the challenge is to encourage consistency). So if you miss a month, please wait until January to rejoin. Obviously, January is the best month to join, because that's the only way you can claim a full calendar year.

Please post your rides by adding a new post to the thread on each occasion. The easiest way to do this is to find your last post, copy it (not 'quote' it), start a fresh post pasting the original, and then add the new ride details.

Good luck all.
