    We have completed the first years Metric Century Challenge, and I have a few suggestions.

    Should we start a new thread for this years challenge to keep it neat and tidy. Also start a new metric century chat thread too.

    I think we should not worry about getting in one scoring ride every month, that way it is a bit more inclusive, and people won’t feel like they can’t join in if they either miss a month or don’t see it until later in the year.

    Lastly, can I claim longest ride – 225.3km

    Highest score in a month – June, 7 points

    Highest total score – 54 points

    That was a good year, and the challenge meant there were times when I used it as a good excuse to put in more miles, and times when it forced me to stay out when I really fancied going home…

    I have a few challenges this coming year that require me to get some good miles in, so will be in again this year.

    What did I win Tony and Dave?

    Can I play this year? It sounds like a good idea that 1 ride per month is entrance requirement, its not that much of a comitment and is a nice challenge.

    My 2p, two categories is maybe the way to go.

    One for those who want the challenge of doing at least one metric a month.

    One for those who find the site and forum later into the year or don’t want to feel pressured that they must do one a month.

    I will be looking to complete at least one a month now that its starting again.

    Blackhound – I agree, I too
    Blackhound – I agree, I too will aim at a minimum one scoring ride a month, and maybe we should look at a separate category for those of us who want to do so.

    There were a couple of occasions that I rode off from a group I was with as they wanted to go home, and I had plans for a metric. The vast majority were completed alone though, my favoured riding option normally.

    Thanks by the way Blackhound, it’s never too much of a bind to get out on my bike though. And well done to you too…

    Yeah, I’m hoping the prize is not the hot iron brand that they did at SSWC one year!

    Other than Dasy I think I was
    Other than Dasy I think I was the only other to complete one every month. (Might have got 7 in September but for an injury at the start of the month meaning I abandoned the sixth and rested thereafter).

    For me it was a target to get at least one in each month and going for as many over the year is less of an incentive in the winter months. However, the fact that only two completed shows we should consider doing something different. It would not stop me carrying on a personal target of one a month should I so wish. My last scoring ride saw the others heading back for shopping etc. When we split up I was 16k short and 8k from home so it was a tour of the suburbs to get the distance in.

    Prizes wise perhaps you get tattoo like in SSWC and I walk away with an expensive ti frame đŸ™‚

    [Congratulations Dasy,about one a week is really impressive)
