The Rapha Festive 500

25 mighty, muddy km on the MTB.

I've done 520 steps according to my watch. Mainly either hops or crutch steps.

Keep going RF500ers!

I might do some extra tomorrow, the local taproom is open from 12-3

Trying this for the first time this year. Did 103km yesterday to get started. But it's easier since I'm in Jakarta, so it will be 30-35 degrees every day. Need to dodge traffic and storms, since its rainy season here.

177km done, just enough to stay in the game for a 5 day finish.

Got home this morning and the 4 year old is still asleep so could have gone further!

I've done 67 rainy kilometers in the Dutch mountains today, which brings the total to 171.

240km.

Strong

Cheers :) Gonna slack off for a day or two, but I'm chuffed to be at that amount.

Nice!

Not sure if I’ll complete it this year. Working a 48 hour week doesn’t help and the weather forecast for Edinburgh is shit for the days I’m off. Although I do need to do another 200km for my RRtY so who knows…

Either way, nice 100km today.

Up early to head out for ride 3. I'm on 145km so far. Planning to do around 80 today but we'll see... I've an 11am curfew.

Looks great! I'd love to ride there some day

Just grinding it out local today, it was windy on the coast, 293km done. Also on 17563 miles for the year, so made my goal of a 48 mile a day average for the year.

Good work all riders

@maffyoube Good effort on the early start.

@HousecatHST Incredible effort. 10,000 is enough of a challenge for me so can’t imagine riding almost double that! Do you ride for work?

That's insane! Well done

I don’t ride for work, I get up at 3am to ride 3 hours a day, to fit it in around work and family.

I think I’ve only missed 6 days riding this year, so it more about daily consistency rather than big rides. I’ve only done 4 100 mile plus rides in that total.

A lot of wind today, but I'm at a total of 251km now🥳

I'm humped, got more work on than I envisaged. Thats my excuse and Im sticking to it.

81 today bringing me up to 227. Beautiful weather in Sussex today and would have been great to carry on but other things needed to be done....

Bring on tomorrow 😁

Snapped chain just west of Twickenham limited today to 54m, and 171 so far in total.
Still, more than halfway there.

Some impressive stints going on, good work people! I'm a bit behind schedule but still on track, 220km done now so a day off then three rides to clear it from here 👍🏼

Good work everyone!
I only did an easy spin of 45 minutes today, tomorrow 100km again.

Knocked out a 100 this morning to take me to 330. 4 days to do 170 but weather looking dodgy and lots of commitments...

Should be doable though....

There is no way back now that you're already this far!
