I’ve just realised this is the Festive 500 thread. Potentially, a sure-fire way of ending said marriage.

It might save some peoples marriages / relationships (all that time together cant be healthy)

Meters? 
I’m more concerned about this…
I thought I’d seen @Jorgan cycling down the M5 near Gloucester. Although I might be mistaken.
M5 ← Also a partly a number

My ex southern mate and I meet up on Zwift for “the hundred watt club” just spinning on a route nice and easy having a chat ticking off XP bonuses. Easy is underrated

Every year I’ve attempted it, I’ve failed.
I refused indoor rides.
Think I managed about 400km once. And 440km another .
I did do the 500km in the week, well, five days, previous to the official start date once.
Doing 165km in -2⁰ to 0⁰ on the shortest day was good for the soul, though.
I’ve ridden in snow, wind, rain, hail for it.
It is a great challenge, if you’ve time and have pre agreed it with family. Doing it on Zwift doesn’t count. Sorry. It just doesn’t.

I did it during the 2020 Christmas lockdown.
Roads were quiet, no extended family to visit or visiting & managed to get it tidied up with a day or 2 to spare before the weather turned.
Nothing to it & - of course - nothing on Zwift.
