Round The Year Randonneurs Log

[Jonah]

Couldn't face the full 12 DC's aye Andy Pandy?

Got my priorities all wrong this year: only nine times round the Dorset Coast ...What was I thinking?

Durnovarian Drop-Out.

I trust the Mayor of Casterbridge put in  a better effort this season?

[Somnolent]

5 years for me also (subject to validation of yesterday's Perm.)

And I've promised myself to get off the treadmill - at least for a month !

Well done Mr Somnolent! What a fine list of rides, too.

[Martin]

took a tumble on the folder last night now got a radial head # (FOOSH google it) so I'm out for 6 weeks :-(

luckily I've bagged Decemeber's 200 and also an AAA so Willy Warmer / Madeira DIY are my January last chance saloon....

(if only I could write as well as I can type left handed!)

GWS  Look after yourself .Sounds like you had a close shave there.

More importantly,good job you got Decembers in early.

EDIT 2 : How do I submit my 12 rides for RRTY recognition?

You send an email to me at rrty@audax.uk with your membership number (and real name  ) and I will check your record. If everything is OK you get your name added to the roll of honour and your name in Arrivee. But be warned - I tend to do the validations in batches as it's more efficient, so you may have to wait a couple of weeks before you hear back from me.

I'm glad I saw this post! Email on its way

After a little break, I think attempt 3 for RRTY#3 is officially on.

6th Aug - DIY200
29th Sept - DIY300
29th Oct - DIY200
27th Nov - DIY200

29th Dec = planned 200 perm

I need to start riding earlier in the month! 
I've also committed to talking mini-bobby to karate lessons every Saturday morning so my calendar rides will be severely hampered in 2017.

[Bikeabilityman]

Me too. DIY 200s Dec 31st 2014, Dec 30th 2015, this season Oct 31st, Nov 30th. Might do Dec next week so it's not hanging over me towards the New Year again.

[TigaSefi]

In winter I do it first weekend of month. Easier that way

[andyp]

If I can shuffle work commitments, I try and get out the first nice day of the month, especially in winter. It's really a lot more fun if the winter rides aren't something to dread.

I once thought it'd be a good idea to build in a break and go out at the beginning of January, and the end of February. It wasn't.

[rabbit]

I've done three consecutive RRTY but it's only showing as one on the roll of honour Can this be changed pretty please with a cherry on top?  http://www.aukweb.net/results/other/rrtyroll/

Posting here might work but there is a better way: http://www.aukweb.net/results/other/rrtyclaim/#claim

Yes, please do send a mail to me at rrty@audax.uk with your membership number and name (I know just the number should be sufficient but it helps me to just cross check it in case of an incorrect number being given). It's easy for me to work out which claims I have processed and which are outstanding as I have a "system" for filing the mails. It is also useful if you can tell me what your starting/finishing month is but I don't need a full list of rides as I get that from the AUK site.

And to everyone - if you have finished a series in December (or before but haven't already claimed) please do send your claim in asap as I will be finalising the annual list very soon

Thanks
Caroline

Rrty 3 is over - ice made us think twice! 

[bhoot]

Just realised this might sound as if there is a time limit for claims! That is not the case, you can claim later in January, or anytime in 2017, but you won't get your name in the February Arrivee - what greater incentive could you need......

Have just sent in my first RRtY claim (Jan '16 to Dec '16) so hopefully it'll be in time.

Thanks to Tomsk for kicking the whole thing off with an excellent group perm in Jan. After that it was all plain sailing - apart from having to cancel 5 calendar rides and substitute them with DIYs due to real life getting in the way

Got Dec's done on 22nd. Not done Jan yet (opted for 55 mile club ride today instead of a DIY (missed out on Poor Student). Been pointed out to me I did two rides last Feb, so if I get two in this month, one will finidh year 4, and the other will start year 5. Tidy, and takes me nicely to the end of my first 5 year membership!

Today's ride was grim. This RRtY stuff isn't glamorous.

Absolutely not!! Well done!! Done for the month!

[Redlight]

Out of interest, I see that LEL straddles two months. Could the first 200km be attributed to July and the final 200km to August? 

[Delph Cyclist]

No, LEL is one event.  It will be counted as a July counter to the RRTY so leave something in your tank to ride an August BR in August

[Delph Cyclist]

Today's ride was grim. This RRtY stuff isn't glamorous.

Sunday was much better, riding the Goodbye Christmas Pudding as an ECE.  Couldn't you have thrown a "sicky" from your day job?  Oh no, I've just realised your boss can't be hoodwinked.

Even the darkness is not dark to him.
