2,500 miles in a year challenge

[mimitabby]

I signed up. This is a challenge for me, but I really think I can do it. I affiliated myself w/Team Estrogen, hope I don't embarrass the club!!

hey, you won't embarrass the club, every mile you do adds to the total!

Lisa your mileage is amazing! your first year and you already beat me!

Gotta find yourself a spare bicycle or two Once you get to the 2500+ level of addiction you need the tell-tale paraphernalia...

You know, I have been toying with the idea of getting a computer so I can keep track of my kilometreage ()...

Oh, I know what you mean. I spend far too much time dreaming about a newer better bike while the bike I have is probably fine!

I liked this.

If I average the same amount of km I've been commuting weekly since October I should need 35 weeks in 2007 to reach 4000 km.

And I'm really feeling the need for another bike.

You ladies are awesome. This will be a stretch for me but hey, TE needs more riders in here, right? I'm IN!!

[mimitabby]

mtbdarby, so are you dirtangel on BJ?

[mtbdarby]

Yes, but I just requested they change it to mtbdarby so you guys know who I am. Time to dust off the trainer and figure out my computer, huh? If you get bored Mimi, just call me and we can lament indoor miles as we sweat away!

I wonder if they'd let me bring it into work so I can ride and work on my laptop at the same time??? Hmmmm, I need to think about that.......

Isn't January 8th Bring Your Trainer to Work Week?

[mimitabby]

oh cool, that's great. Yes, we could somehow set up a conference call
and all be on bike trainers. is that sick or what?

at least I am above ZERO miles now.

It surpised ME when I added it up! But all those 20 mile rides every week really add up.
Now it's going into winter though, and all the Florida, Texas, and California gals are gonna mop the floor with me!
...But if I'm lucky maybe we'll eventually get some snow here (like we used to in pre-globalwarming days) and I will be SNOWSHOEING soon, woo-HOOO!!!!

[Duck on Wheels]

Hmmm. I could try. But how do you tally indoor miles? I'd probably need a couple days a week indoors through the winter to get my mileage up there. Spring-Fall I'll commute, but that's only about 3 miles each way, then maybe 20-30 miles on weekends. I'd need to do that much every week of the year, but I'm not going out on my bike in this storm (howling winds, sleet, icy roads), and I don't know of any club rides or events hereabouts. 'Course, that does make it all the more important to set a mileage goal to keep me going. I can't use training for the Cindy as my motivator this year.

i have a bike computer hooked up to my indoor bike; with the sensor on the rear wheel. you need a longer cable for that.
