Chick, it's not the total miles that matter, it's the time and quality.

Hm, that competition doesn't necessarily have anything to do with competing against others. Many if not most simply signed up as a way to publicly state their goals -- just like this thread. Besides, beyond the availability of hills in everyone's home terrain there is the issue of the creativity in measuring altitude gain. If I used just the Internet mapping sites, I could easily increase my numbers by 30-50%. Nope, it's only for personal measurement, just like total mileage on BJ.
