Bike Journal for dummies

[IFjane]

Hi ladies (and men!) - ok, it has been almost a year since I logged-in to BJ to record my meager miles. I want to add a total to that mileage for TE and just tried - but for the life of me I can't figure out how to add to my mileage!

HELP!

What do I do? I logged-in and then can't find where to add mileage. I can see how to add to my lifetime odometer, but that does not seem to add to my 2007 miles....???? duh.....help!

As Homer would say, "I'm smart, I'm smart, s-m-r-t..."

Hi there Jane

When you log in, lok at the menu along the top - it reads

HOME JOURNAL RIDERS etc

Hold the mouse over JOURNAL and click on "add ride"

[IFjane]

Thank you RR! As I said, I'm s-m-r-t!

I just joined bikejournal tonight. It's all new to me and I have, what I presume to be, a very stupid question:

who claims TE club membership? Is that reserved for paid persons - or team/racer gals? I lean towards thinking it's only for certain folks.

I don't need to be in a club by any means. But, if I'm eligible to claim TE as my group of cool folks - than I'd like to do so.

Sorry for my ignorance on the matter. Thanks.

IMO, we are all TE gals and we all claim the right to be members on BJ. In fact, we want more members so we can get more miles and move up in the ranks, right ladies? So join the TE Team at bikejournal today!

PS We have a thread in the forums too in case TE is down.

When I first joined BJ, I thought I had to put my local club... so I did, and of course I was the only one in the whole of BJ

So I made my club TE - which it is really.

It is not reserved for paid cyclists, or members of TE admin who are paid.
It is not reserved for teams or racers

Anyone from TE can affiliate themselves with TE on BJ.
In fact, the more the better and then we will have a better chance to get in the top 3 this year - wouldn't that be cool.

Occasional riders, commuters, cyclocrossers, dirt bikers, triatheletes, tootlers, fitness riders, club racers, national contenders... all these types of cyclists (and I have probably left some out) affiliate themselves with TE on BikeJournal...

Name TE as your club... if you hop on a bike and make the pedals turn - you are a cyclist

Note to self, join Team TE on Bike Journal this year. I have new warm stuff, so I should be back on the bike soon(ish). I admit, I'm a weanie when it comes to riding in cooler weather.

I've never thought of joining BJ before, but all this talk has me thinking I might. I think I'll head over there sometime today to check it out.



and why did my sick, twisted mind see BJ and think nasty thoughts?? Too many years of uptight Catholic schooling seem to always have my mind rebelling against properness and pure thoughts. Sorry.

Ok, I joined BJ and listed TE as the team.

How do I add my mtb? I listed the Roubaix and my *primary* bike but my first ride of the new year was actually on the mtb. Do I click on the new filter thingy and then pay for it after the 30 day trial?

[KnottedYet]

i dont remember, but i think you click 'manage bikes' and add it there. then when you log a ride it lets you choose which bike.

Got it! Thanks for the tip, Knot.

I giggle every time I type it. I thought I was the only one...

Pssst... neither sick nor twisted... well, only as sick and twisted as me I think this is the only thread I have referred to BikeJournal as initials... I seriously wondered what this thread was asking when I first saw the title listed...

[sundial]

Well, everytime I saw BJ, I read PJ.

LOL... that's cause you are naturally innocent and not remotely sick or twisted
