    I'm on the Hill of Tara with the crumbs of a chocolate Santa. I need the calories!

    Needed 132k...completed 136.6k. It's ok Rapha, you can keep the extra 5k! :)

    Glad that's over and I'm looking forward to a day off the bike tomorrow. Well done everyone who participated, especially those who not only completed the 500k, but put in some serious elevation gain figures too!

    Weather played a big part in completing this challenge for me. No rain and mild temperatures really helped.

    Well done again and happy new year and safe cycling in 2020 everyone!

    Done! 513km in total with one day off and with a day to spare. It was fun! I rediscovered some routes I haven't done in a while. The weather was ok, a bit too windy on Saturday and Sunday. I had two days of drizzle and mucky farm roads.

    Well done everyone and here's to a great 2020

    Hit my goal of 250 so tomorrow is a bonus. No way I was getting to 500 so I'm happy. Few dark and damp mornings but over all mild and dry. Christmas day heading home I saw my partner up the road and a few neighbours picking up a lad of about 12 or 13 who had the new bike go from under him on a bend on our road. He was fine more pride than physical damage and his bike went down on the non drive side. Saw him out on it earlier so he must be ok.

    Some punter from England finished with 2109k for the week.

    Ffs that’s nearly as much as I did in the whole year. He clearly hasn’t a job and kids.
