The annual Month of Madness
So what’s the Month of Madness? Also called the MOM it is a unique activity of some of the completely nutty members of Peloton Sports. Although it started out as the brainless child of UF and involved a 100 km ride everyday for a month, it has mellowed. Now it involves a ‘ride’ every day from 20th December 2009 until and including Australia Day 2010. Yep - 38 Rides!!
Most are much the same as a normal Saturday or Sunday ride with occasional harder and longer ones and occasional recovery rides too. So don’t be fooled, this isn’t for the old and infirm (what the hell is UF doing you might ask) and it’s not for the too young to make a firm commitment either. So that leaves just about no-one but watch!! There’ll be a swag of clowns ready to mutilate their muscles so don’t lose out on this amazing self-mutilating event.
Yes we have a POINTS SYSTEM like in previous years only THIS TIME they’ll be monitored!
You have to ride with UF if you want to get your points - 1 ride = 1 point (unless of course money changes hands!)
Awards? You bet! But you have to qualify to know what they are.
MOM Rules:
• You have to register your own points
• Anyone cheating will have all points stripped away
• Fester is commissar on any disputes (good luck)
• 1 point per ride
• Points are for RIDES during the MOM only
• TORC Saturday rides can be included as MOM points rides
• Rides start at 7.00 am from the car part at TMC unless otherwise advertised on the Peloton Sports website
• Distance: depends on the weather/previous ride/UF’s state of health
• Time: back for coffee by 10.30 and usually earlier
• Pace: Sat & Sun rules pertain on Sat & Sundays. Otherwise B1-2 pace

| The MOM started after UF watched the movie Forest Gump and decided if a luminary like him could gain fame by running everywhere, he could do the same but on a bike. And so after thinking about it for a few years it started in Christmas 2003 - that was also the time that he decided that his puppy fat needed to be dealt a serious blow and also the time that his mate David S told him that you don't need a Porsche to attract the chics - riding 100 Km/day would have the same effect - but it might take a few years! And so still with no fans or chics, the MOM continues!! |
