I wish I could count my walking commuting miles, my snowshoeing miles, and be able to convert my kickboxing time into miles....then it would look like I'm actually *doing* something!
Go girls of TE!!
Hugs and butterflies,

Hmmm, seems I am right behind you in the standings, CC! :D I gotta help Geonz in keeping the mileage rolling in from those of us in cooler climates!Quote:

Well! If the weather prognosticators are to be believed -a dubious proposition at best- we could actually have riding weather very soon. At least, they are forecasting the kind of weather where there is nothing in the air except...well...air. No rain, no snow, no ice, no wind, trees, fences, garbage cans, or small animals blowing by in a horizontal fashion....just plain calm, air. And maybe even a little sun! :eek: It is almost beyond comprehension.
Bikes are tuned and ready, and restless like a team of Huskies, so here's hoping I can get a little distance between causes and effects and contribute a little to the TE effort. :D
Hey, it actually got up to 32F today, and I rode a measley 13 miles and managed to stay warm. The roads were nice and dry, and it was snowing big fluffy pretty snowflakes all the while I was riding. Very festive! But that's better than nothing- had been sick for a week, and have to work my strength back again- but forcast calls for in the teens over the next few days, so the 13 miles is all I could manage for now....:o I also walked 3 miles earlier this morning.
Hey the weather is beautiful here but wouldnt you know it I have sick kids at home and a husband away. BLAST its so nice I WANT TO RIDE.
Somebody here in Northern Cal better be out today enjoying the weather its so nice its kinda freaky for this time of the year.
It's also for those who wish they had biceps and are working on it! :DQuote:

well - I'm 13th, but still 116km behind you CC... and some 700km behind PP!!
Doing my best, but I'm back to work this week, so trying my best not to let it crimp my style.
Trek! (sorry my brain did not register your name - doesn't matter where you live - you still belong to us :) ) So if we look at the top 20, we also have Rey from Perth and Trek from Aussie too, but currently lurking in Nevada.
But only four Australians and one NZer in the top 20... c'mon Antipodeans!!!
In the words of the immortal Freddy... "Get on yer bikes and ride!!!"
Hey Im an Aussie - I might be living in the USA but Im still an Aussie.:)Quote:

I *thought* BJ was going to change so you could have your miles and eat them too... it could still come.
I'm going to think this weekend and just maybe start doing exercises fro the rest of the body ... if I do it for a week I'll get on that Biceps group, too. Hey, it's kind of a "make your own rules" club, anyway. If I pick up my bicycle ten times I'd call that weightlifting.
LOL - true but I was referring to Raven's line belowQuote:

Huge apologies Trek, I was sneaky surfing at work and didn't look at names, just countries!!!
Am editing the (offending) post as I write!
Hey Mate no need to apologise I was teasing when I typed that. Its so hard typing sometimes to get the right feelings across.Quote:

All the warm weather girls will have to do the riding for us all for now. Then when Spring hits us Northern gals we'll take over from the Southern gals who will be exhausted at that point! ;) ;) Like a giant relay race!
