Strange, I am the opposite, I find them really motivating

I guess the thing for me is I don’t race, I’ve never followed racing and, while I get the thrill for those that do, I am only marginally/minimally motivated by the on road action. I think SYSTM and Sir @Francois-Wahoo do a REMARKABLE job with these but they’ve just never been something that engages me. I just can’t escape the feeling that I’m stuck in my basement with TTBS.

You’re really selling it, Sir Glen! Glad you went first!

Lol! @DameCristy and, in the spirit of the challenge, as my 30 min recon counted the ride as ā€œdoneā€ in the awards section, I deleted it from my history so it shows as yet to be completed now. This is future me’s problem now.

We really hate on future me sometimes…

At my age, I am happy enough that future me still exists.

You don’t know how much this makes me laugh. And I know it’s tongue in cheek. But I almost never win anything. Lol.

I can pretty much recount to you all 6 times I’ve won any kind of raffle or prize drawing. 3 of them being this year!

I won a flint & steel set in cub scouts when I was 10.

At a company picnic around 2003 I won 3 prizes, but because I had to leave early for my cousin’s wedding (they did the drawings after I left) - and they said you had to be there to win - I didn’t get any of them.

That was the high point of my prize winning career until this year. :rofl:
