Only day one of 2008 and Road Raven already has 18 miles under her belt! :D Way to go RR!

Uh oh - Velobambina is already at 50 and currently ranked 11th. Wow!

[KnottedYet]

Somehow, I don't think "alexp" should be at #1 on the general stats. Bulk loading 6,000 miles at midnight new year's day... hmmmm, does that count? :p

can I do it, too? ;)

[RoadRaven]

LOL... :D

I just entered this morning's ride and am leading TE but only by 23km - that Tricksy Lion Girl (triskeliongirl). And Diving Biker has logged miles too. So far only three of us... must revel in my glory while I can - I will be knocked down a few pegs pretty soon I am guessing.

And I am at 27th place in the overall standings - only 37km behind the leader (needapush from Mount Barker, Texas, obviously doesn't need pushing...!)

Knotted - alexp has been removed from Number 1... thank goodness - over 9000km in the first day or so - a bit hard to credit :p

CA - I guess Velobambina is linked to a different club? I am not logged in there now, but she didn't show in the TE rankings...

[Velobambina]

You go RR!!! You got that nice summer vibe going on now, so you should be getting in the miles. The next two days here are going to be brutal in terms of temps. :( If I get outside for a ride, my wipe-out bruised knee will get iced the natural way. LOL

[DirtDiva]

Maybe I'll join when I get back from the ride I'm about to go on. Should be about 50km in lovely warm weather, calm (unlike yesterday :rolleyes: ) and there's just enough cloud cover to avoid getting burned to a crisp. :D

I did 402 miles last week and am taking today **off** (not counting the errand or two). Still, my two miles had me in the top 100 early in the morning! (Not for long...) But... I logged 'em for the Rouge Croix group 'cause it's the first of the month.
Great start of the year, ladeez!!!

[KnottedYet]

I did two miles. When I left for my bike errand, I would've been #78 with 2 miles. By the time I got back, I was 360-something with my 2 precious miles.

I was GOING to ride 40-50 today. I even went to bed early and set my alarm. But the cold I was fighting leapt out and tackled me. (even my 2 miles left me standing along the road hacking up a lung and honking my nose into my hankie)

Partly sunny dry day here in Seattle, hope lots of good riding for the Seattlites today!

To see everyone who lists TE as a club, but maybe, not their primary club, click on Stats at BJ, choose clubs, choose TE and then you can click on any of the headings to reorder the standings however you would like. It automatically comes up alphabetically.

Here's a link, with it reordered by mileage.

Now I'm #534. Sic transit gloria mundi...

(yesterday I was #4,000 -something. What a difference 2 miles makes, eh? ;))

I noticed that too KnottedYet and I personally feel it's not right! I don't think it should count. That's my two cents. :mad:

[crazycanuck]

Will someone bike a few extra km's for me?? :(:(:(

I am dying to get back on the road :) but it won't be until at least february :o.

aaaarrrghg...crazyc goes crazier..

If you bike extra km's for me, i'll swim a few extra laps for you :D amongst other things

Looks like it's been knocked off. I hope it was just an honest error (I just signed up and thank goodness I didn't do that, but I'm lucky I didn't do something equally awful!).

[KnottedYet]

there was a post on BJ explaining that it was an error, and he fixed it.

[Geonz]

Welp, 6000 miles the first day... it's not as if it were going to fool anybody so I figgered it was an honest blunder - sometimes a goal ends up in the mileage spot or a decimal disappears.

Supposed to be 7 degrees tomorrow morning - I'll have one of those 'beat the temperature with your mileage' rides by the time I'm at work! Will have to stopby the hardware store for some of those hand warmer thingies to have in case I break down and have to fix something, tho' I suspect I'll use the cell phone and cancel a "car-free day" (one of the bikejournal challenges).

[KnottedYet]

I'm gonna try to meet the 400 miles by Valentine's Day challenge.

I bought a 2nd computer for New Years, so now each of my bikes has one. Wanna keep track of mileage this year, and see what I actually do.

Way to go RoadRaven!!!

With a couple (few?) feet of snow on the ground and no knobbies, I've been relegated indoors. I just looked at the bikejournal website for the first time and didn't find an answer to the question lingering in my mind:

Can you log indoor/trainer miles on the journal? Or, are people only logging outdoor/riding miles? Just curious if there's some sort of journal etiquette that I need to know. Thanks!

[DirtDiva]

You can log all kinds of mileage and users can chose whether to view all miles or outdoor miles only.

Raven - I'm gonna get you... :D :p ;)

[RoadRaven]

Raven - I'm gonna get you... :D :p ;)


Hehehe... I may be in second place now... but I'm still 36km ahead of you... :p

<EFG>

[DirtDiva]

Perhaps I'll have to catch you next week... :p (Don't have another roadie ride planned until Sunday.)

[RoadRaven]

Hehehe...
Road rules (although I am becoming more and more enamoured of dirt... haven't entered those yet on BJ...)

[DirtDiva]

Given that I'm waiting on both a new MTB frame and a new bike two sensor to arrive, it could be a few more weeks before I start logging dirty kilometres.

[RoadRaven]

Arrrrggghhh!!!!!

I am only 4kms ahead of Diva!
:eek:
About to lose my top placing in TE
:cool:
Have to do LOADS of kms tomorrow!

[DirtDiva]

:p

That is all.

[Crankin]

Well, I like being in 3d place because of alphabetical order. I had plans to ride Tuesday when it was 60 out, but the run off from the melting snow was awful. Even on my heavy Voodoo bike, (with no fenders), I wasn't really looking forward to it. There was hardly room on the street for cars.
Tomorrow is going to be in the high forties and clear. The snow is gone until Sunday night, so maybe a ride tomorrow.

You know, you have to go down to 91st place to find a club with fewer miles per ride than ours. What's up with that?? Are these guys for real? Doesn't anyone go out for 30-milers?

Yeah... I sometimes wonder at the miles some of these folks put in - the ones who are not professional cyclists and who have full-time jobs.

My partner puts in 400-600km (200-375mile) weeks most of the year - he has a handful of 300km (180miles) weeks when tapering before events, and maybe a month or two of 700km+ weeks (440mile+) when doing base training.

He can do this because we have a farm, and being self-employed he can fit work around cycling. in the middle of winter, he can bike in the middle of the day.

If I tried to do these kms on and hold down my full-time job - I would be getting up at 3/4in the morning, or biking in the evening/night. Maybe thats what these guys do?

The nubbies are nipping at your feet. Better get on it, girl! :D

[DirtDiva]

Get riding RoadRaven! I'm off on holiday for six days - you could build an unassailable lead. :eek:
