Rather than break the rules...
The 2015 MCC thread is now disabled for editing any older posts since you put your new dress on... Might be worth poking that developer of yours again so posts can be updated rather than having to create a new post.
...you're still welcome.
Need to sort out the edit function so I can edit the metric Century challenge. Having just done mine I find it frustrating that its not possible to edit my own file, apparently I'm not authorized to do so. Come on guys the new dress looks good but there are problems unnderneath that should have been sorted by testing before the big move to ensure all the lights worked, then you wouldn't get people moaning all the time, which is what has happened. Tme me thinks to get moving on the fingers to sort out the problems before people stop using the forum.
you should be able to edit your MCC posts now, although some of the styling has gone a bit awry in some. apologies for that.
Thanks Dave, I guess that the comments would been re-posting so myself and a few others had already removed our old ones and started again!
Thanks for the update.
Just December's one to go now, for me. Happy days.
This year one of my riding buddies organized a Metric Century Challenge a bunch of us local cyclists joined. We started with 11 guys and 2 women. Now we are down to 7 guys and the two women with a little over a month to go. January and February were tough months to do metrics. March wasn't much better. April wasn't too bad. It got easier after April.
Most of the metrics I have done this year have been done solo. I was wondering how many of the participants in the Road CC competition ride solo mostly to do their metrics, and how many do the majority of their metrics with a riding buddy or in some sort of group ride?
What is the bike of choice most of the participants in the Road CC competition ride in order to complete their metrics? Most of my metrics this year were done on my Felt cyclocross bike. I like to do rides on the tow paths around my home which is why I like the CX bike the most for my rides. The metrics I did in the first three months of the year were done on a Cannondale mountain bike with highrise handlebars and Scwalbe Super Big Apple tires. I used my Cinelli road bike on some of the rides, and when I did a few metrics in New England (Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts) over the summer I used my upgraded Dahon Speed P8 (folding bike) for them.
The metric century challenge I've been participating in all year not only looks at the the number of metric century rides and the length of those rides, but it also looks at other things, too. You get a badge if you complete a metric where the temperature outside was below freezing for the entire ride. You get a badge if there was more than a certain amount of elevation gain during the ride - 1000 meters, 2000 meters, and 3000 meters. You get a badge if the average moving speed was above 19 mph and another badge if above 21 mph. You get a badge if you do two days in a row of metric rides, and for 3 days, and for 4 days, etc. You get a badge if you do an entire metric ride after dark or in the wee hours of the morning before daylight comes. And you get a badge if you do a metric ride 100% offroad on something like a canal towpath, and another badge if you do a double metric 100% offroad.
Have any of you participated in metric century challenges that give out such badges?
This year's challenge all done, with today's effort
Congratulations! Nice job. I just did my last one for the year today.
Completed my effort for then year on Monday, had to say it was a stuggle, BUT its done one 100k ride for evey month. Yes I gave myself a pat on the back and thought now for the next twelve and hope my form has improved for January. Well done to everyone else that took up the challenge and completed it.
All up to date and the first for 2016 is on Sunday... Will there be a 2016 challenge?
socks?
nice!
Ride my first 100k today!
Dave has sorted the socks, they are on the way, you'll get a form in your email to claim them.

After being a super grump about my birthday tomorrow and finally realising that I'm growing up and need to do something productive with my life... Getting home from the studio today and finding my socks on the door mat has cheered me up no end!
Sod going to work tomorrow... I'm going for a ride instead!
I didn't ever get my socks from 2014!
I never got my socks

Are you talking about doing it solo or in an event? very different I think!
