For those of you logging your miles over on BikeJournal under Team Estrogen, our goal for the year is 75,000 and we are at almost 57,000 miles! Winter's closing in, so don't forget to add your miles when you get a chance!
Welcome to all our new club members - we are up to 56 members now.
Hey, I'm doin' my best but there's no way I will click in more than 2000 km by the New Year!!Quote:

Yes Amanda you can. If you are already on the Bike Journal, you can add miles all at once. If you are not on the Bike Journal you can join and add miles all at once. The directions on how to do that are on the journal site.
It's kind of fun- one guy just joined about a week ago and added something like 5500 miles all at once which bumped the rest of us in that category down-so if you were 125 you became 126 or whatever! THis happens when new people join. But it's a great site so I do recommend you get all those miles in!

I joined yesterday and sent of a cheque today to become a premier member. My husband got me a diary about 2 months ago and I had been keeping miles in that so I added those. It looks rather sad against some of those huge distances but I guess it all adds up. :)

but bikejournal does ROCK! can't wait to get my jersey!!!!!!
I'm already part of another "forum" club or I would add my miles... maybe I'll switch next year tho... I should have lots of miles next year as my goal is be part of the "Century a Month" club! :eek: OMG... it's true... I AM crazy... :eek: :eek: :eek: :D
I just joined and added my milage. It's not much, but it's something...
When I have toy-money and buy a computer, then I'll join. The best I can do at the moment is count the squares in the A-Z and take a distance guesstimate for the day's errands. :p I need some regular work so I can commute! I mean, think of all the bike toys £20 I wouldn't be spending on the tube each week could buy..!
i was thinking of doing that too... there are a LOT nicer here than the majority of the people over there! (i said majority... not all! lol!)Quote:

Go to manage clubs and you'll see how to join another one.
ya.... i knew you could join and split your miles... but half the fun of bike journal is to see how high on the "ladder" you can get... if i split my miles... i'd be down on both of them! :D :D :D
now if i could give all my miles to both clubs... then i'd be in both!!!!!! :p
No, the miles are totalled for you as a user, not per bike or per club. I split my miles between 3 bikes - road, hybrid, and "tagalong" - but my user ID gets credit for all of them. I'm sure with the club it works the same.
Oops, I just realized it might not work that way for the clubs. I'm sure your overall standing would have your total - but probably when you look at the club it would only have the club-based miles. Rats!
bingo! :( :( :( i actually joined TE after i realized you had a club... but yes... my mileage for TE was 0 :( :( :( so i unjoined....Quote:

wonder if we can ask slantz for it?
done (uhm... asked, that is...)

IMHO- put your mileage in one club. You are then supporting THAT club. If you split mileage, it could be confusing for everyone. My home club is also on BJ, BUT since I joined TE first, then my loyalty is to TE.
uhm.... that's what i've been saying.... i don't want to split mileage.... my mileage all goes to one club.... but what i asked slantz for is to be able to join two clubs with ALL miles... of course... i can see where you wouldn't want me to be able to do that! :D :D :D :D :D
I would guess that would be sort of "cooking the books" for accounting of miles purposes. I don't think your total miles would be correct if you could log them under two different clubs because of the way the database works. But I could be wrong... :rolleyes:
i don't think club miles has anything to do with actual miles.... heck... you don't even have to join a club.. i wasn't a member of any club for a long time..... only joined the one i did join after i was asked multiple times to give them my miles!
it just gives you more motivation and competition to have two places to track how you are doing!
Gotta agree with caligurl on this one! I joined Bike Journal and signed up for the Bike Friday club originally. I believe that club was formed before the TeamE one. I later joined the TeamE club, but all my miles are tracked against Bike Friday b/c I didn't want to split my miles. I briefly considered tracking only the miles I ride on my Bike Friday in the Friday club and my Aegis miles in the TeamE club, but then what would I do about my mtb and trainer bike miles??
The solution for me would have all my miles count in both clubs. I wish it would work that way! :confused:

slantz answered... but it's probably lost in the forum oopsie.... he did say it's on his "to do" list cuz it appears that several bikejournal members have requested it! YAY!
Hey caligurl - what is your Id on bikejournal? I love seeing all the girls from here and what they have been riding but I havent seen your name. When I look thru I get excited when I see someone I have chatted with on this forum. You girls really are logging some huge mileage Im so impressed.Quote:

~doorah~
doorah - good for you. I only recently joined too and dont have many miles but hey we all have to start somewhere. I find the miles our TE girls are doing inspiring and it motivates me to use my limited free time to get out and ride. :)Quote:

Holy moley! I just checked BJ and we are seriously close to our goal! Thanks gals!!! And welcome to all you new members!
I just got my jersey, too and it's really cute!
ROFL - so yeah I got my BJ jersey too while I was out of the country. The weather has turned cold enough to warrent changing to my LS jerseys but did I?................Not on your life!! I wore my BJ jersey!! Now if I can just be patient for my AV jersey - life would be complete!
My desk is 2 1/2 wks behind but what was the First thing I did when I got to work this AM?......log my ride and check the club stats! (no obsession here)
HOLY MOLEY ladies - did ya'll do some riding while I was gone or What!!! I'm so proud of everyone of you!!

I finally got around to posting my miles for this year on Bike journal. I wanted to wait until I actually reached my goal of 1000 miles. Not many miles compared to some of you, but a reasonable goal for me. The season is almost over for me in MI but maybe we'll yet get a few good days to ride.
congrats on reaching your goal Sandy - so did you watch your computer turn over to that magic number?? - I did!
YAY SANDY!! Thanks for posting your miles - we're getting so close to our team goal. I wish there was a "fun" index instead of just miles. That would give equality to road rides and mountain rides. ;)
sandy! you should think about posting your miles as you do them! that's 1/2 the fun.... seeing where you rank and who is passing you... or who you are passing! :cool: sometimes you get motivated to go an extra mile just to pass that person right ahead of you! :rolleyes: lol!
and speaking of the jerseys... i finally wore mine and took pics before the contest ended... i love it! i love the colors!
Thanks gals for the kind words. Now that I am caught up I will plan on posting my miles after each ride. My computer conked out at 200 miles due to some rain so I had to remove the battery which set it back to 0 so it only says 800 miles. I am looking forward to watching it roll over to 1000 when that time comes. :o
Yahoo! Just got to 10th position while BikeMomma is sleeping. (BikeMomma are you there? No more riding?) But unless anyone stops riding I'm not going to go any higher.
Just wanted to share that with you. :)
Good for you. Its great to have some fun rivalry. I love putting in my ride when I get back home and seeing where I rate. :)Quote:
