Check out the big picture on how you and your fellow riders are fairing here:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HQBfnh-k...k/edit#gid=911810338
Some congratulations are due again this month:
Distance:
Evan Hughes, Tom Knierim and Warren Cray each crossed the line in June thereby completing the Distance Challenges they committed to back in March.
Congratulations lads ... job done.
Climbing:
Adrian Gallagher, Andrew Potts, Eric Davis, Gillian Baker, James O Callaghan, John Anslow, Sinead Brennan, Tara Nelson, Val Smith and Warren Cray all completed their Climbing challenges during June seeing through the commitment they each made back in March.
Congratulations guys - brilliant going!
Some stats that might interest you:
Distance Challenge:
3 months in out of 5 and average progress (excluding finishers) is bang on at 60%.
June came in at a relatively light 38,000km cycled (54,000km in May; 50,000km in April).
You're on track guys - keep going.
Climbing Challenge:
Average progress (excluding finishers) is 70%.
Overall the group is well ahead of target though notwithstanding the immense climbing done by the Dolomite gang in particular, we saw a relatively light 490,000m climbed in June (649,000m May; 571,000m April) albeit some riders haven't logged stats.
Randonneur Challenge:
4 months in now out of 6 and average overall progress is 40% for this tough auld challenge.
Some of our riders are well on track while others are struggling a little at the moment but still have plenty of time to complete - keep it going guys!
The group logged 37 x 140km spins in June; 40 in May; 43 in April; 12 in March.
Finally and notable during June was the climbing damage the guys just back from the Dolomites trip have wrought in the mountains over there and which can be observed in the linked table above.
Incredible climbing, remarkable work.

If the Climbing Challenge survives again next year, I think we can look to blame the Italian bunch for re-calibrating the targets :)
The best of luck to all of the riders with the remainder of your challenge(s)
and again congratulations to everyone who stuck with their commitment and completed during June. Kudos.

Keep logging those metres though.
You're storming it.
