February - Drive 1000 miles!?

Ooof, that's quite the uptick!

Curious as to what the reasoning behind such a big increase in this particular goal was.

I grinded out the 200 miles on the Training Centre last night, as I was only roughly 50% done after completing the other challenges included in January's monthly.

My concern is, in completing the 3 other challenges for February, how far off of 1000 miles total might I be this month?]]> 940 Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:20:43 +0000 https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/wcml-preston-to-carlisle-neutral-sections.88967/ https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/wcml-preston-to-carlisle-neutral-sections.88967/ invalid@example.com (Dion Flannery) Dion Flannery View attachment 183024
