Good stuff George.
I'll make that change in the next couple of days.

Ken you have tempted me - so here goes:
I'll upgrade my climbing challenge to 30 x Alps 33,000m

Cheers,


Leonard-

Good stuff Leonard.

Thanks Ken

Hi Ken, great idea to allow a mid-season tweak. Can I upgrade my climbing challenge to 40 Alps please.

Thanks

Derek

Hi Ken,

As discovered over the weekend in Tralee, I didn't update my details correctly for the Randonneur Challenge!!

I didn't enter zero for April on the "Log Progress Form". Now none of the details I have entered for May and June on the "Log Progress Form" have uploaded to the "Track Progress File".

Is it still possible for my details to be uploaded to the "Track Progress File" please?

Just a reminder to insert values only.
No need for text.
Nice going.

Just thinking .... the 2 spins entered for May from Kerry actually occurred in June and so I'll pop those into June for you.

Just remember to disregard them next month.

Nice going.
Ken

Many thanks Ken for sorting me out yet again, hope to finally get it right next time!!!!

Ken

Can I up the distance challenge to 16 Milan San Remo's

Thanks

James

Hey Ken,
Promised I get this to you....

I'm getting a bit more adventurous as the year progresses... Can you please up my distance challenge to 16 Milan San Remos and my climbing challenge to 40x Alps?

Thank you
Martine

Will do Martine.
Have a good trip.

Extract from last week's post:
- your progress to date may have been epic or your circumstances may have changed for the better and you now feel that in hindsight you could have joined a more demanding challenge.
If so, post your new preferred challenge on this thread before the 15 June window closes and hindsight will become reality - the period till the 15th of June will be the single opportunity during these challenges for such a change.

Today's post:

Hi all.
A reminder that 3 days now remain for you to log your May progress for the Leisure Challenges you have joined.
After the 15th the boat sails.

Many thanks to so many riders who have already done so.

Check out the files section of the website or use the links below.
Log your progress here:
docs.google.com/forms/d/1buh1Sdrspi_n7kl...Gmm3ZWO7ClC7gII/edit

Once logged, your progress will update the table linked below automatically.

Check out the bigger picture table here:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HQBfnh-k...k/edit#gid=911810338

A few essentials:
1. Log your progress even if it is nil by logging a "0";
2. Please ensure to enter values only i.e. no need to type "km" or "m" etc.
3. If your progress does not update automatically, please reach out on this thread.


The best of luck with your challenges.

That's amended James.
Lots of luck with the new target.

Hi Ken
I've entered my data for May twice and it still hasn't loaded on the page. I done it the same way as the April log in but no joy.
Any idea how I went wrong
Cheers Tommy

Hi Ken, may I up my targets to M-SR x 12 and 30 x Alps. Many thanks, Tom

Hi Tommy
You're 1st name and surname are coming through with character spaces after the final letter in each case.
Likely your phone or laptop is auto filling your name. Best in future to auto ride this.
It's what's scuppering the update.

I've deleted those extra spaces and your numbers have come through.
Please check them though as you've entered June numbers too which I've made zero. Post up here if Your May numbers are incorrect and I'll fix them up.
Nice going Tommy.

Cheers Ken

Apologies this update is so late!

Thanks to everyone who updated their Challenge(s) progress for May.
