Excuse my ignorance but how do you get points?

By completing rides above 200km. 1 point for each 100km covered (ie; 200km =2, 300km=3)


Ah right, thanks.

You only start staring after about 4 years, I understand  ;)

What happens when you are at almost 4 (+10) with one month (Dec) to go? And No 15 is almost halfway in.

59 month sequence for me now. Phil D broke his pelvis at 62 months, MarmiteGeoff had an argument with a car at 61 months. I'm getting nervous!

Cambrian Series 2B today for 11/12, or if September's ride never gets validated, er 3/12.

A combination of the cold and my lumicycle lights failing 50k from home and I feel rather relieved to be home now, that must be the general feeling of winter 200s?

i am hoping to double my RRTY log entries to 2 by doing the Mon Meander tommorow. Did the Transporter in November. 

Is it neccesary to inform anyone of your intention to do RRTY or do you apply after you have done the 12 rides?

The ride to York got the 3 Nov rides done -- so 8/11, 9/10 and 10/9 all done
Now for 3 in Dec, then 2 in Jan and 1 in Feb and I get to 10 done.

Next 5 could be nasty - particularly the first 3 - with Dec a bit of a short month - and a foul cold at the moment
I was an accountant until I discovered Audax !!

Looks very good! And congrats on the 100 points.
(Sorry not to manage to speak to you at York.)

Hmmm... I seem to have started up again, with three rides a month since August.
Fortunately, December should have no trouble in putting a stop to this!

Thanks for the link Fungus  The rules seem fairly relaxed , just do 12 @200plus rides validated at rando speed.

Yes, best to wait till your results are on the AUK website, then contact MW and advise him of your claimed rides.  I keep a .xls spreadsheet of ALL my rides going back to 1992 and each RRTY-qualifying 200+ ride is awarded a Code Number.  On Thurs I rode RRTY14-12 (yippee- off the dreaded 13) and next w/e I hope to ride RRTY15-8. It is then an easy job to email this to MW.

After two 11 months series, the SBWW sees #5 finished. Not continuous though. It was a bit of a wrench when The Streak ended at 42 months.

Starting again with the Willy Warmer on January 21st, Chalfont St Peter. Did you see what I did there?
