How long have you been tube challenging?
I realised today it's coming up to 2 years since I did my first tube challenge way back in July 2010 and this morning I was going in wondering how long you guys have been challenging, anyone got over 10 years? Just interested, post your time served on here
Oh and on that note, would anyone read it if I put up a thread basically saying how I ended up on the rails?

Comic Relief 2009 was my first attempt and first time of meeting most of you so I'd say just over three years

Seven or eight months - first attempt (and completion) was CiN 2011. I thought I'd stop after that but was having too much fun

Re: How long have you been tube challenging?
I should say that I keep getting an itch to have a go at Zone 1 again. This is purely because I am obsessed with stats, and posting a list of the fastest Z1 times up on the forum makes me want to improve on my somewhat crappy positions.

I could actually do that, as I'm on rest day week. I don't think my wife would be happy if I do that though ...
