Year Rounder: Here's something you can do on your own. If you join UMCA, John Lee Ellis publishes a periodic newsletter highlighting what some of the riders have done around the world. The UMCA organizes the Year-Rounder which showcases consistent performance in cycling throughout the year. The Y-R includes the Larry Schwartz award which recognizes riders who complete (at least) a century every month. Riders earn certificates, medals and plaques and top riders are recognized in UltraCycling.
