Another 12 metric century challenge?
Started the last one late and lost interest/forgot about it after the thread was unstickied, maybe, just perhaps, we could do a new one starting Jan. 1?
Propose that rules are: Do 12 metric centuries over the year, starting Jan. 1. Update after each one (pictures encouraged). No prizes other than a virtual pat on the back from fellow members.
Thoughts? Make it a yearly thing?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

In point of fact, I intendedfto make it an annual event, with an even dozen winners each year, as well, starting on January. I was going to announce on New Years Day, but I might as well let the cat out of the bag now. Yes, we're going to do it annually.

Refresh my memory, could this be done with just a cyclocompter and a timestamped photo? Or do I need a GPS?

no, i think it was lueky for 12 in a row?
i think Ti should be 6 200K's or 3 300K's or 2 600K's or 1 1200K
that octopus guy who does the PBP on his IRO should be banned from joining
