The Annual Lunacy (aka "I Don't Do Winter") Challenge Chatzone

with that in mind I am setting my target at 100kms with the added incentive that 7 rides of 112kms or over will increase my metric lifetime Eddington to 112.
I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Great !

I'm also impressed by your Eddington Metric number. How many more do you need to get to 113?

113 might be a stretch to far for 2025 - I've just checked and i would need 15 x 113 or greater. I used to do regular 100kms Sunday social rides with the local CTC , so have accumulated lots of 100-110km rides but not so many above that.

Looking at getting my 4th badge this year.

For anyone new still unsure what the deal is with when and how often to do your rides, note that last year I did 13 rides of over 100km for this challenge, but my first wasn't until 30th March, while my last was on the 27th October, meaning I had almost five months of the year where I didn't log any rides in this challenge. It really is the most flexible of all challenges on this forum.

I'm in again.
Going to up my target from 60km to 61km for 2025.
I stretched way past that to 94km last year, but 2025 is going to be tough finding time for cycling, thanks to a new job, not to mention all the decluttering and DIY that the house needs after bringing up children for the last 2 decades.

I put my 28th lunacy ride in today, 72 km, but my lunacy distance has already stretched beyond that, so no change.
Was good to get out - temps ranged from about 6-8 degreees, and for once my choice of two layers on my top was sufficiently warm, although it was nice to get back home at 4pm for a mug of tea and some food; I'd not eaten since my shredded wheat at 8am.

I'll try to join this year. I'm setting the bar low because this looks like a busy year, and it's full of goals and deadlines, so if I'm adding another I'm going to make sure it's achievable. I'm setting the distance at 40km, which is my commute if I cycle both ways; if all else fails, I'll cycle to work and back...
