For those of you who didn't take the challenge, I bet you're so wishing you had now! :p

Seriously, (I'm trying to keep a straight face), with all the congrats threads in the last couple of months, I toyed with not posting this thread. As you all know, and some may disagree, I feel anyone who even attempted the CAM challenge did great. The original point of the challenge was to get people motivated to ride and what better way than a challenge to get 100 miles in at least once a month. I think that's a great motivator and have enjoyed the challenge myself. I'm not sure I'm taking it in 2008, but I hope others will for sure. If I do go for CAM, it will likely be privately, as I'm going to be a little more circumspect in the New Year (I can already hear the several "yeah, right" comments).

So, without further ado, here are the names of those who finished the CAM Challenge in 2007:

Indolent58 - 12/12
Kar3368 - 12/12
Magicant - 12/12
mateo44 - 12/12
Mel - 12/12
merider1 - 12/12
NYgirl777 - 12/12


Honorable Mentions:

Grumpy Pig - 11/12
shnuddy-11/12


awiner - 10/12
Nacy333-10/12
Spingineer - 10/12
Vancemac 10/12


jschen - 9/12
scvroadie - 9/12


Scootcore - 8/12
Gretzky - 8/12


Um...what happened?

Jpconrad - 6/12
Road Fix- 6/12
Ronjon10 - 6/12
Sir-Lanceimnot - 6/12


Now, if you do not see your name in the appropriate category, please call me out, call me names, shame me, whip me (really...I'd like it), and I will correct my error immediately. I think one or two of you in the honorable mention section should actually be in the finisher category. Just let me know.

But, since I maintained the thread last year, I get final word. And I say Congratulations to anyone who did the challenge!! :beer: Happy century riding in 2008!

Last but not least, to order your free jersey, PM Spingineer.:D

I don't accept credit cards, paypal, etc ... you'll have to give me cash for the ... virtual jersey :p

Hey, I thought you took Indolent's CAM's out? Not only that, he's on top (insert your snide jokes here).

But seriously, thanks for the congrats ME. It did motivate me to ride (even though I was originally on a triple crown mission).

No one is on top of anyone in here, mister. Don't you even start that! :p

I decided to give Indolent back his centuries. He learned his lesson, I'm sure, and since he will be the one handling the CAM thread next year, I decided to show him how to use power appropriately.

Thanks, but both maximan1 and ovoleg got more votes than me for 2008 CAM czar. Personally I want to hold out for Caligurl's return.
