Well done. Short ride for me tomorrow then if weather holds I'll do a longer MTB ride on Monday to end of the year and the challenge.

 

I found it quite manageable, only had 1 suffer ride on Boxing day where I swear I was sweating alcohol from having too many liqueur's on Christmas day.

I don't have a 'pink slip' for Christmas day rides so was a day short straight away but like you say set your mind to it and it's quite manageable.

I'm stuck on the wild coast with a SS MTB, no real road to speak of and with a strong wind blowing the seagulls out of the sky.

 

47 km to go...

[WIPEOUT 1000]

Finished this morning, 3rd festive 500 in a row.

[Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail"]

Did a 247 today.

Strava didn't capture everything and only shows 198.

Skipping Monday, got to work.

Ride again on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ticked the box as well, for the 3rd year running, each time and every kilometer, on the dual sus.....guess it helps if you only have one bike 

 

Great way to build endurance, whilst also getting to meet fellow hubbers on the road, like Saturday when I formally met 'Dale, when both his roadie group and our MTB group, craved Franschhoek's croissants and coffee. Dikwiele, dunwiele, what does it matter, as long as we are all on two wheels, we share something special.

 

#Festive500 for the win

I'm not sure I trust all the numbers I see, even on those monthly climbing and distance challenges ... Anyway probably just my cynical character
