    There are 12 months, while spring and fall only last three days here. I think your math mist be off.

    You should join @SarahB 10-100-10 Club…10 century rides in 10 months…for next year, 2016:)

    Are those official event centuries or merely 100+ mile rides? What do they do for the other two months? I’m currently on 56 consecutive months with at least one 100+ mile ride.

    SarahB is still working up the concept and I’ve encouraged her to post it as a thread on this forum for reactions/recruitment. My understanding is that it merely 100+ mile rides, but tracked by some type of GPS based app. She is also considering a metric century version, too, for cyclists not yet ready for full centuries. Look for a thread soon from her on this for the 2016 calendar year.

    I meant the fairer weather “bicycling” season, and not the winter, spring, summer, fall seasons. The 10 months was because it has symmetry with the 10 centuries….but the time frame could easily be something else.

    There is also the poorly promoted and haphazardly directed Sunday Century Series during the 2015 NBC season. This week probably try the Hills of Rock Creek and/or Hills of Patapsco again. I kinda hate hills though. Darn Strava challenges! :( I skipped the big hills the last two times but still got 7-8k feet I think. This is a long one. 130-150 miles.

    Meet at Filter Bike Rack in Brookland for 7am rollout, or Proteus College Park for 8am departure. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/9773591
