Gold award for Bob in the first monthly Strava competition.

03 May 17

Results for the first monthly Herts Wheelers Strava challenge are complete.
Nine riders reached theGold standard of 400+ miles, ten got Silver with 250+ miles and a further six claimed a Bronze awardby posting 150+ miles in the four weeks.
The idea isn’t to have winners and losers, (but you’re going to compare performances anyway aren’t you!) so a few names to mention;

  • This month’s “Get a life” award goes to David Daniels who tops the table with 784 miles;
  • The “Steely determination” award goes to Bob Brown for achieving the Gold standard by 1.6 miles;
  • The “Close but no banana” award goes to Brian Evans who was just 1.3miles short of a Bronze award (need to pay more attention next month Brian!).

Special mention to John Highet who put on 340 miles in the final week, and might have managed much more if he hadn’t been stranded in Portsmouth for 48 hours after missing the ferry (mind you, he is on a cycling holiday, which explains the mileage).
I hope people found it added some interest and here’s to next month (awards for longest ride as well as total distance, see the discussion item on the Strava club page).
