TE on BikeJournal

[RoadRaven]

OK… I know this is a 2006 thread, but the title of the thread is good for any year… so here I am bumping it, and giving some Jan 2007 stats, and plees for our cyclists to get over to BJ and put numbers by their names!

Team Estrogen total mileage in the BikeJournal stats currently is 8429 miles…

OK ladies… we have 93 members with visible mileage, and 14 who have elected to use the “private” option.

BUT there are 168 with nothing beside their names except a big hollow zero!

That’s nearly 2/3 of the visible mileage members…

Now I know some of off bikes because of illness or health or weather… but currently we are placed 7th at BJ… if just 100 of you ladies popped a few miles up… say an average of 20 miles each (and remember you can enter bulk miles, say at the end of each month if you don’t want to log each individual ride…) then our over total miles would go from 8429 to 10,429 then TeamEstrogen would be in 5th place by over 1000miles…

If 100 of you posted your miles with an average of 35 miles each for the year thus far, we would have nearly 12,000 and comfortably in 4th place. If that average was 40, we would pushing Space City hard for their current standing of 3rd place!!!

C’mon – every ride each of you makes is worthy whether 8-10km, of centuries… they all take dedication and commitment. Be proud and support our team.

Is it showing our indoor miles RR? I have a whopping 50-some km indoors so far.

I promise to input every single km I log once the weather changes.

kelownagirl, you need to change that in your profile (edit profile) to include indoor miles. Then I think it will contribute to your club's total... But I'm not 100% sure.

[kelownagirl]

Yeah, mine is set to show. I just wasn't sure if it would show up when YOU look at it, if YOU have yours set to not show. Hmmm....

Indoor miles definitely contribute as long as you check "include indoor miles" in your setup (most of my miles are trainer stand miles )

OK, I've finally gotten around to setting up a user on bikejournal.com. I added my <measly> 135 mostly-commuting miles for 2007. I don't typically keep track of my annual mileage, so this should impose some discipline on me.

[RoadRaven]

Yeah - indoor miles show if you choose that option - I haven't set my indoor mileage to show as my personal mileage goal is based on total road miles...
At the moment its only about 20km on the trainer, being summer and all... but if I do loads this winter indoors instead of getting outdoor kilometres, I will change the option.

Hey there Susan. Excellent - great for you to keep track and excellent for TE to have your fabulous 137 miles (measly and miles should NOT go in the same sentence!)

[RoadRaven]

WOOHOO!!!

I just zipped into to BJ to check our stats...

We're in 6th place already!

We are 255 miles ahead of #7 (Team Paisa)

We are 567 miles behind #5 (Team BikeJournal)

Way to go ladies!!!

I just saw on bikejournal that you'd joined, Susan. Welcome to the fray over there. Now you too can get into the arguments about indoor/outdoor miles, a not to be missed event in your life.

"Of course indoor miles don't count." says the outdoor purist

"Yes they do, I'm on bike, sweating they count." says the snowbound rider.

"But you don't go any where." OP

"The weather is too crummy for me to get out, they count." SR

"But your front wheel doen't turn." OP

"I'm counting them. " SR

"I'm not counting them." OP

"Ha... my indoor miles don't count. They multiply." retorts Veronica.

[SadieKate]

Hey, you forgot Miles Davis counting Davis Miles.

Thanks SK. However, I don't plan to participate in (or even read) the forums over there. I'll just log my miles.

39 miles yesterday with two of my very fast girlfriends. They took pity on me every now and then and waited for me. But they keep inviting me back.... Go figure.

I guess I'm a purist. I only count outdoor miles. You may not see me on there until March...

I have been tracking miles on mapmyride but just signed on to BJ. Hey, 30 miles at a time adds up
