Reply With QuoteBy the way, here are our pictures. The first one is of us at the start. My son Will, me, and my husband Charles. Does my helmet look too small or something? I never noticed it riding up so high before. Maybe I just hadn't pushed it down, yet.
The second one is of my son hugging his bike that he rebuilt himself and that got him through what was for him a long challenging ride.
We had a blast, though. When we were driving back to the hotel I kept thinking, "I can't believe it's over". But honestly I don't feel like I built it up too much. hmmm.

Hey, Tom, do you mean they posted the results on Bikejournal.com? How do you find it?

BikeJournal simply keeps track of your total mileage for the year, and when you log on at the home page, it shows you where you stand mileage-wise compared to all the other members. You can do the same thing within your bike club on the club pages, it shows you where you stand compared to everybody else in the group, and totals miles for the members so that clubs can enter a little friendly competition as well. I log my miles under the Arkansas Bicycling Club, but the TE ladies have their own group there as well where they can roll up their miles. (Apparently you can only log your miles to one particular club, to prevent double-dipping by folks who belong to more than one group.)

And yes, the ride rules required helmet use, since the event insurance policy (through the League of American Bicyclists) requires helmets as a condition of coverage. Arkansas, though, doesn't require the use of bike helmets for riders of any age, and lots of folks here run the risk.
Neat pictures, and I've admired that green bike for a long time ;-)
Y'all be careful out there...

Oooooh! I thought you were saying that you finished 1403 in the BDB! Which would not be very good, would it? lol.
Yeah, I sometimes remember to log my miles at BJ. eh.

Oh, and Will would have been in his Razorback jersey, but it got stolen in Detroit.
A guy parked his car next to ours at the BDB and he was wearing the same jersey. I asked him if he'd been to Detroit lately. 
Will saw the Hog jerseys for sale in the ballpark, but we had already replaced it with something else and--he's such a good kid--he said he didn't want me to spend the money on it. Parkside Bike shop had Hog socks there in ****ey-Stephens, so he got those instead.
We do wish we'd picked up the John Deere jersey we saw last year, though.

Yeah, I noticed the JD bike several times (and the rest of your party) before I realizied who y'all were. I'm sorry I didn't hook up with y'all again, after I hiked to the top of the bridge- I had to walk a little in a few places- but I have no shame. At least I rode further this year and walked a WHOLE lot less. I also avoided 2 opportunites to crash. Saturday was a top ten day for me!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
