  1. I am going to do one more this year (well actually it's next year in
    the AUK scheme of things); the Mulled Wine bla bla from Denmead 10th
    December; need to collect Xmas pressies and old badges from Pam (well
    not from Pam, she just sells them). Any other foolhardy and well
    insulated souls also doing it?

    Not me but I am doing The Winter Solstice on December 18th and might do
    one of the York ones on December 25th or 26th, I'll be cycling those
    days so why not !!

    Denmead not far from here. Change of client has removed opportunity to
    commute by bike.

    Where details, please?

    Funsize Mars bars? What could possibly be MORE fun about eating LESS
    chocolate?

    More Mulled Wine and Mince Pies
    More Mulled Wine and Mince Pies
    More Mulled Wine and Mince Pies
    More Mulled Wine and Mince Pies

    tempted?

    BTW the rotters on C+ have decided I can't play as I did not find the
    Metric Century a month thread until half way through the year so my
    3496 km have gone to waste; bah!

    Perhaps we could do our own; No prizes for top 2 for 2005

    I of course mean no prizes for guessing the top 2

    the rules are simple; 1 point for every 100k, every ride over 100k
    counts and you have to do one each calendar month, thus if you do an SR
    that's 15 points and 1500km.

    Mr Kahn and Mr Series among those in this froup, I expect.

    (Counts on fingers)

    4 x 100
    10 x 200
    2 x 300
    1 x 400

    34. Hmm.

    And then home.

    indeed, having almost equalled half of my total

    in one ride ;-)

    that should be 1 point for every 100k FOR every ride over 200k. Only BR
    and higher count, not BP.

    100k = null points

    So I am on 2 points having done

    1x100 = 0 points
    1x200 = 2 points

    ...d

    no 3 points and 300k; you get 1 point for each 100k, this is urc/C+
    rules not AUK ;-)

    but to stay in the competition you must have completed at least one
    100k ride in each calendar month (but no limit on how many in total),
    which is why I need to do a 100k in December

    I'll be riding a green (if you can see it through the mud) Thorn Brevet
    with non-matching black acrylic hat.

    Entry posted, arrangements to raid Lt. Col. Larrington (retd.)'s drinkohol
    supplies made. I shall, as per usual, be on the red Trice XXL. Hat choice
    yet to be decided.

    Frozen gorillas can be used to control the temperature of a warm and
