10 year quest - Sun 8th Jan 2023 (complete šŸ—”ļø)

Awesome suffering! You are going to crush your quest!

Thanks! Something will be crushed, me or it :scream::sweat_smile:

Nice! Keep up the enterpainment :slight_smile:

Also, just keep going, it’s only another 5 rides :innocent: :smiling_imp:

Edit: nvm, I see you finished your prep already :man_facepalming:

Haha I did briefly consider doing GOAT and seeing if I felt like carrying on, but gonna give it a couple of weeks and tackle it when fully prepared :sweat_smile:

I seriously don’t know how people do that day with 5 in a row.

When I did my quest in ā€˜18, there were no KoS prep plans and if there was, I’m not sure I’d make it. I did use the MTP to full effect and my Mt Sufferlandria was Knighthood. I was really confident in my success based on having done a nearly 11 hour outdoor ride and my laser focus on the ā€œprizes and accoladesā€ (mainly the decals).

For a similar stooopid goal, vEveresting Alpe d’Huez (on Z), my ā€œplanā€ was days with added reps and on the day I had to do 4, I just keep going.

I found it surprisingly more enjoyable that I expected, apart from Butter, that was a bit of a slog at the end. My 5 in a row wasn’t due until late Jan, but decided to have a go now and see how I felt about bringing the knighthood attempt forward as well. Work is going to be crazy from mid Jan which might scupper things if I wait.

I may regret this decision…

Right. Date is set - Sunday 8th Jan. Let’s go…

I love the poetry of ending your quest on Rue the Day!
