Patchelicious Posted December 12, 2016 Share Instead aim for 1000km over the same period. Bit more of a challenge. Waaaay too much babalas happening for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Does it count if you do some of it on an indoor trainer?Working through Christmas and EL becomes a bit of a nightmare with all the vaalies down here at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon29er Posted December 12, 2016 Share Winter challenge for our Northern neightbours. Rides starting at 5am will avoid the sunburn. Strava is such a Northern Hemisphere wankers paradise. Just look at how stupid all their challenges are at the time of year they run them. But the saddest thing is seeing guys on their bikes wearing Strava Grand Fondo bibs and shirts. Imagine buying some over priced kit that clearly tells those around you you waste cash on cycling clothes AND you think riding 100km in mid summer is a big deal.

From a grand fondo being 130 to 100. 130 push the boundaries for some a bit. I was hoping for 150 being the target. Now I just chase a few Audax medals...
