This October, we honor the proud traditions of Sufferlandria with a four-workout challenge that embodies the essence of SUF. From sharp MAP intervals to relentless race simulations and all-day endurance grinds, each ride demands grit, resilience, and the courage to dive headfirst into the pain cave. With classics like _Hell Hath No Fury_, _The Downward Spiral_, and _Blender_ alongside the punishing _High Time_, this month is all about celebrating SUF the only way we know how — by suffering, gloriously. ![SYSTM SUFtober](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/f/3/f379548d47a89040cf6279a0447228fc4b497273.jpeg) And don’t forget: **SUF National Day takes place on the last weekend of October.** Riders around the world will gather (virtually) for **three solid hours of suffering** — complete it to earn your official badge and eternal glory in the halls of Sufferlandria.

Yes! Now this is a monthly challenge and right in time for indoor season. Blender is my favourite SUF workout. ---

FanSUFingtastic! Been enjoying the long summer here in the UK, so have missed all the shenanigans in here, but I’ve gotten the jist of it. This is a fine welcome back into Sufferlandria indeed. Of course, I will be riding Kitchen Sink for SUFday plus these bad boys throughout the month! Thanks again team and keep upping the SUF stuff. #morethanyou ---

Thanks @Rupert for the latest monthly challenge and for giving it a name that the citizenry can relate to. I’ll converse with some of my friends to see if perhaps the National SUF Day you mention can somehow be made into one our Knights Rides on Zwift so that those who would like, can suffer together on a banded group ride. ![IMG_9198](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/c/2/c2d4071325ed323858ece0211e2319a06d9c38da.jpeg) ---

I rode HHNF this morning. Followed it with Open 30 at Z2 for a nice long endurance day. Reminded me of my shenanigans a couple years ago when I rode various combinations of HHNF and Who Dares for a month post-Tour of Sufferlandria. Ahh, those were the days… ![IMG_4605](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/3/5/35857fb1b6bb1ee950fb40a970f7fe74bde255fa.jpeg) ![ScreenRecording_10-01-2025 09-41-46_1_V2F_2025-10-01_09-41-51_983](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/b/d/bd6b97f201d83c790f54b7ae2772cc404e2a0874.jpeg) ![IMG_4604](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/3X/3/d/3dd80cc085ba78d80e78146bf6694665a13579be.jpeg) ---

I noticed that as well this morning and there are only 3 MAP intervals in High Time….one during the warm up and and only two very short ones during the sustained effort. This has now been corrected in the Ocotover Challenge thread. ---

Ahah, did Blender on september 30th. What I love about the MAP efforts is that the FTP ones at the end feel way easier than they should after 90 minutes. Seeing Mourey and Pauwels makes me wonder: how awesome would be a CX Pro-race video? Ready to run upstairs with the kickr on your shoulder? 🤩 ---

Rode the masterpiece that is High Time this morning. Jeezo, that is some fine Suffering right there. I sincerely hope the Minions don’t mess with this one anytime soon. IWBMATTKYT ---

The Downward Spiral in the bag. Last time was more than 2 years ago, whoa! What I like in this one is that I spend most of the MAP efforts looking at my stem, and when recovery comes, I look up and see pictures of cemetaries, Misery! I had no sound for a minute at the second 105 seconds interval, is it just me? Oh and how is Tamara doing these days? ---

I did it today too. I had no problems with sound. In my opinion, this is one of the remasters that is well done. ---
