So is there interest in doing this again publicly this year? I intend to do it again, as I'm sure others will, but that does not necessarily mean people want to track their progress on BF. I suspect that some/many of the 38 who took the challenge in 2007 rode more Centuries than they reported but just lost interest in posting.

So if there is sufficient interest I will step up and serve as CAM Czar, since Caligurl has completely ignored our attempts to lure her back.

So go ahead and respond to the poll and we'll see where this goes.

why not....!

In

I'm in. Now all I need is a nice warm day that coincides with a day off.

It's really none of your business you creep!

Churro mang, why not?

So far I'm booked for the Palm Springs, Solvang, and Wildflower centuries, and will probably do the Paso Robles thing on Memorial Day for another century. And Cool Breeze in August, of course. But I'm not quite ready to commit to one every month. Dunno why. All attempts at jeering, patronizing, don't-be-a-whimp encouragement are of course welcome.

Well, Dan - I would do it, but under the following conditions: ;) :D
- change the unit of measure from miles to kilometers
- more slacker centuries in the new u/m (you are the slacker czar too, so this one should be easy to grant)
- discounts and incentives (like for example ride 11, get 1 free)
- ban doubles as unusually cruel and inhuman punishment.

I was planning on it, but tomorrow I have surgery on my left hand so I'm probably off the bike for 2-3 weeks. Can I do two in February and let it slide?

Oh you tease. I bet you say that to all the guys.

Depends whether I get a prize at the end. :D

Neener neener! Wimp! There, did that help?

Thanks. I needed that. We'll see. Actually, though, after an aggregate of more than thirty years of being married (in three installments) I'm more accustomed to being "motivated" by women. But. . . .

I second this!!

Jimmy, let's have a C-A-M revolution!!
Viva la Metric!

Metric centuries are too wimpy to even consider. Too avoid embarrassment it's best just to refer to them as "Metrics" so no one will think you are deluding yourself.

I will consider one concession - maybe. Since this is getting started late this year - January is half over, I endorse the blasphemy proposed by robertkat to allow riders to do two centuries in one month to catch up if they cannot make the January century. But just once! As in 12 centuries in 11 months, not 12 centuries in 7 or 8 or whatever months.

See? I am fair and benelovent and will at no point demand bribes.

Indolent is running a Dictatorship here....
Who's to say a Metric is any less challenging to me that a mile century is to you...

I think he spent his time in Turkey taking lessons on repressing the people!!:rolleyes:

I'm with you Drew!!!
Attica...attica....attica...:eek:

But Metric a Month comes out as MAM. Really now, aren't you all just a little embarrassed?

Hmmm....there has to be something catchier than that...

I'm in. It's nice to have a goal. Besides if I complete it, it will contribute more than 20% to my annual mileage goal. :)

I'm with you Drew!!!
Attica...attica....attica...:eek:

I'm with Drew and Herb! And in order to determine who's right, I suggest let's race! We do our century, "they" do theirs and see who finishes first. :D Quality will always triumph over Quantity. I bet you, gentlemen - we'll be drinking beer at the finish while the "other" century riders are still out on the road. :beer:

I want in! :D

OK then. Diversity is good. You can be in charge of the MAM thread :D

I'm in. I hope I don't regret this. Will do a century next weekend and am signed for Tour de Palm Springs. Dave

I'll give it a try... "Do or do not, there is no try." -Yoda

Will probably do one Saturday... Hermosa to SM and PV loops until I hit the century. I am going to regret this.

I mean my wheels and tires are measured in metric so why should the distance be any different? :eek:
If you wanted to do an English measured century than we should have stayed with 27 1/4" wheels and tires.:D

You are all whiners.

And it's not "English". Miles are as American as Soy Lattes and outdoor turkey deep fryers.

OK then. Diversity is good. You can be in charge of the MAM thread :D
Hey Indy.... It seems like you can't say "no" to a girl. ;) Thanks Alice and welcome to the team! Let's see - we've got Alice, Drew, Herb, PMC and myself. I guess the race is on... that is, if these masochistic 100-milers show up :D

I know this is off the subject, but can you tell me how you post a Poll question??? I need to post one and don't know how.

When you click on Start a New Thread just scroll down to the poll option...

I want in! :D

(I've always liked the rebel/bad boys...and Mam is what the checker at Ralphs calls me anyway...:p)

MAM, would you like help out with those bags..

How about if I do a century a year?

Put me down, I would like to take the challenge
