It’s time to start planning!
How shall we suffer this year? Kitchen Sink again? Original Blender? Mt. Ventoux?
And please Sir Rupert, @Rupert.H , may we have a badge?!

What a lovely idea. Count me in for 3 hours(ish) of fun times.
And some new kit too!

Using every opportunity to pester Sir Rupert on the kit
As we should.
For route selection we could wheel out this old thing:
WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE
I noticed that Kitchen Sink was not an option on the Wheel.
I spun it, and it came up Attacker. A second spin came up with Butter. The third spin was @Glen.Coutts’s favorite workout, Revolver.
Maybe everyone should spin the wheel a couple of times, and we can take the most frequent result(s) as the “winners”.
Haha… I spun it 3 times and “won” ISLAGIATT every time.
3 of them in a row could be an interesting SUFday this year.
I was gifted by the Wheel of Misfortune: The Wretched, ISLAGIATT, and The Rookie.
My lucky results:
Downward Spiral
DAYT
The Model
GVA knows I’ve been neglecting MAP intervals.
Nice badge!
My spin results: Team Scream, Violator, and Do As You’re Told
Love the initiative, love that there is a badge, would love if the pick was ISLTA.
Guess wishing for a new long nice mash-up would be too much.
I’m not sure how the badge awarding algorithms work within SYSTM. Do we need to pick specific workouts that are the same for us all? Can we just specify a filter category like Sufferfest or Climbing?
How about badge = any combo of Sufferfest or Knighthood workouts on 10/2724 AND total workout time >= 3hr. Breaks between rides should follow Knighthood rules and be <= 10minutes.
Then we could revel in sharing our individual choices in suffering and rue the day we thought this sounded like a good idea.
Oof. I got Violator. One spin and I’m already done!
I don’t mind Revolver. 15 (cough cough) times 1 minute on and 1 minute off. It was #10 on my quest back in the day. It’s hard AF but I don’t hate it. So many recovery intervals.
Sounds like suffering. I do not like The Shovel. And Blender is so looooooong! Ridiculous
Violator - it is done in Level mode, so easy to cheat.
You also get two more spins of the wheel – unless you want to do Violator three times.
Probably because of these three it’s the one I’ve done the most! Blender is the one I’ve done most recently, five weeks ago.
