So, this weekends winning rides for Il Lombardia are as follows:
In third place, theres Clive @cloggsy71 with a very interesting looking 74.5km and 754m of Sustrans bashing between Whitby and Scarborough and back again. Thats a ride I think I'm going to have to investigate for myself, I have to say...
In second place, theres Karan @narak_lol with 79.3km and 227m of ascent...
and in first place, with a whopping 138.2km of ride and 969m of ascent we have a clear winner in Graham @BigG59
Here's the individual standings for this event...
Congratulations to the podium, and to everyone else who joined in and rode and booked their ride. One or two people contacted me via PM and asked if I could pick their rides up via Strava, which I did - to anyone who rode but didn't have it counted, well, you should have either declared it, or sent me a PM...
Overall, there was a change in the standings on points, with Graham overtaking Jason for the lead, and myself bringing up a somewhat distant third place... I'm going to have to pull out all the stops to keep my place on the podium I think, especially as the final event is only a semi-classic, and with a whole weekend to ride, and only points to 10th place, it's entirely possible that @jillyian could overtake me in the last event...
here's the overall standings...
and as always - there's the google spreadsheet with all the details if you want to dig into the figures a little more...

just the final event now, over the weekend 8th-9th, for the Paris-Tours. I may just decide to award some spot prizes for this event, just to round off the challenge on a high-note...

A DNS for me. Our area was ravaged pretty well by Hurricane Matthew all day yesterday. No problems, flooding, or damage for me, but emergency services are out today trying to get power back up, trees cleared, etc. As of early afternoon they were still pulling the odd family off a rooftop or out of a tree due to severe flooding. All that being the case, it was best if I just stayed here on my little patch of forest and kept out of everybody's way.2

well - it beats my ride for this week - I think it's down to how many riders get more km's in than I do, but less than you did now...
and to anyone I've missed with my Strava Harvesting. - sorry, I'm not victimising anyone, It's simply I've forgotten your MFP/Strava handle inter-relation... and if I've picked up the wrong ride, then it's down to you to declare the other one...
I'll keep this thread open for submissions until tomorrow lunchtime (my time-zone) - at which point I'll close off and sort out the results thread.
Cheers Folks...

105.4km, I'll add that to the sheet... even though you're basically only joining for the last ride of the challenge, and you're ride's just put me off the podium for the entire combined event...

Here's my Paris Tours ride. Thank you!
https://www.strava.com/activities/7399032350 -
Another DNR for me. Rowing training has gone up to 3 sessions per weekend leaving much less time and energy for the bike. I feel like I have sort of fizzled out at the end of this challenge rather than going out with the bang I planned all those months ago. Anyway, onwards to the winter challenge and the motivation I need to keep the commute up during the dark, cold rainy days ahead.
Thank you Mark and Jason, the work that you both put into these challenges is incredible and I really appreciate it (even if it left me with a horrible sense of guilt for not making it out this weekend)0 -

If the challenge motivates everyone to do one more ride, or to make one ride a little longer, then it's done it's job as far as I'm concerned. I'll be honest, looking at the rowing repeats you were doing, there's no way on earth i'd have been coupling that with riding the bike, so I understand missing a couple of the end of season events.
Glad you enjoyed it... I must confess, I'm kind of looking forward to the Winter Challenge myself - mainly because as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty much all automatic, and it's Jason's baby to do the regular update posts

okay folks - we've now officially cut off - if you're ride isn't in the spreadsheet here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1USBZpOdSTdQu0Ia9K3Nh1nwot8aj1I7p8bxlfm_N9JE/edit?usp=sharing - then it's not getting considered...
Thank you everyone for your time and energies riding this challenge over the year, it's been emotional...
I'll close this thread down now, and there'll be the final prize-ceremony etc. over in the discussion thread...
