Ok, some rules for the Daz challenge:
1. The challenge is to cycle 100miles or for 6hrs 41 mins, whichever comes first. If the former is achieved then subsidiary rule 1a) will apply. (see 1a) below
1a) Those achieving 100miles in less than the Cav number(ie 6.41) will be required to continue to cycle until such time has passed. A record of the total mileage will be made at that time.
2. Food/liquid stops are allowable up to a total time of 15mins for the entire challenge. These may be taken at the discretion of the challenger. This time will not be part of the aforementioned 6hrs 41. ie this is to comply with rule 3, see below.
3. 6hrs 41mins will be the total cycling time.
4. Uppage. It would be gentlemanly to undertake this challenge over suitably hilly terrain, this is after all a forum dedicated to going up(and down
). You will therefore be required to cycle over two recognised cols in your locality. It would be desirable to achieve a total climb per ride of 2,000 metres. This is not however essential though may sway the judges in the event of a tie and will also give said achievers valuable bragging rights.
5. Scrap metal handicap. For those not held together with 3kg of titanium screws and bolts it will be necessary to carry a handful of scrap metal in your saddle bag or cycling jersey.
6. All results will be collated on the thread "Today's Bike Ride"
7. A prize will be on offer to the most commendable performance.(This need not necessarily be the fastest time/maximum mileage)
8. The decision of the judges will be final.
9. The decision of Daz supercedes all other decisions.
10. There is no rule 10.
