Go on — you know you want to    What's next?

Well done Folly.  You'll have a double on the go in no time, I'm sure

[Gearless]

looking through this i fell i need help , started 2004 not missed a monthe yet

[3peaker]

Looking through this I feel I need help, started 2004; not missed a month yet.

That is impressive. Pity you missed Nov 2004(non recorded?). Then, you would have been at it since your very first recorded Audax ride (Sep 2004?). But you are now in the Ultras. Some stop when they reach a Milestone. I have yet to declare mine, though I am having thoughts?

[LittleWheelsandBig]

Starting #8 with:
07 Mar Kennet Valley Run 200 BRM
11 Apr Green & Yellow Fields 300 BRM

EDIT:
23 May Flatlands 600 BRM
14 Jun DIY 200 BR
25 Jul National 400 BR in Scotland DNS
substituted by Halfway to Tofino 400 BRM in Canada

Not sure what I'm going to ride in September and onwards but something will turn up. It always does.

[Bobby]

Well that's it, 27 months in a row but April is over and I'm off the roundabout.

Not sure what may will bring... :/

Congratulations on breaking the cycle.    But be warned it is still addictive several years later.            DAHIKT.

[Bikeabilityman]

Very impressive, Martin. If my Severn Across ride is okay, I am two and two thirds of the way to getting the x5 badge (thought about doing two a month, but one a month in winter and spring keeps me ticking over).

[3peaker]

I have been having a string of good fortune with PBP Qualifiers, though 600km fatigue prevented a 3rd 200+ May ride. Cannot complain though, as Wiggo day saw me complete 12yrs Consecutive, together with completing RRTY21 whilst completing my Calendar Gospel Pass 200 Organiser's ride. I am targetting 1000 points, so need to keep these rides going at least to end 2016.... and then there could be LEL in 2017

[Drone]

Wiggo day saw me complete 12yrs Consecutive

Snap.

Finishing the 9 Counties 600 brought the completion of my 12th consecutive year of RRTY. I was thinking of taking a break but if 3speaker is carrying on I'd better keep him company.

At 57.2634° N is this both the most northerly RRtY achieved on a recumbent in UK and the most futile and pretentious claim?

Quite possibly but I'm sure I don't know.

[wilkyboy]

RRTY number 3 completed on Saturday with a DIY from Cambridge to Diss to Clare and back    (soon to become a perm, methinks).  Only another 70 months to catch up with Fidgetbuzz, or another 110 months to catch up with 3peaker and Drone 

• July 2014 — Hereward the Wake 300 + ECE100
• August — Straight Outta Hackney 200
• September — The Flatliner 600 permanent
• October — DIY200 to Haddenham in Bucks
• November — DIY200 Cambridge Market route check (now a perm)
• December — DIY200 towards Aylesbury, Bucks
• January 2015 — Horses for Courses 200 perm
• February — The Horsepower 200 + ECE100 helpers' ride (ridden 28 February)
• March — Green & Yellow Fields 300 helpers' ride (ridden 28 March)
• April — Asparagus & Strawberries 400 permanent
• May — The Flatlands helpers' ride (ridden 16 May)
• June — DIY200 to Diss and Clare (to be validated)

A couple of helpers' rides were ridden in the month preceding the calendar event — my ride's recorded in the following month, but was ridden the previous, and so counts on the day it was ridden, according to Mr RRTY himself.

Slightly more fleshy write-up here.

Impressed -- my 100th consecutive month was a milestone that was good to celebrate -- but 12 whole years -- different ball game. Well done both of you  - long may you continue .  Roger
