TE on BikeJournal

[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....

[HillSlugger]

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.

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

[Susan Otcenas]

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.

[Trekhawk]

LOL - I dont read much at the BJ forum but I did read some of those posts when they were debating indoor/outdoor and it provided me with a good belly laugh for the day.

[HillSlugger]

Down with "Purists"!

Hey watch it. I AM actually one of those. Because it's MY journal and that's the way I want it to be.

What you do in your journal is your business.

LOL - Im an outdoor purist too. A little birdy told me you need a trainer to log trainer miles so that might have something to do with it.

(trainers and pain seem to go together Im all for avoiding pain)

Funny I was just thinking about this, sort of.

If I keep my HR on an outdoor ride as high as I do on the trainer, I average about two mph faster on the outdoor ride than I do on the trainer and I'm riding similar gears.

To me, they are just different species.

I do wish more of us had our journals available to see on BJ. I enjoy stalking. Sometimes I get trapped at my computer by my cat. It's either stalk people's journals or look for stolen goods on Craig's list. Jo's journals are pretty good.

I'm sorry, I was trying to be cute. What I really meant is that no one should tell someone else what is right in this regard.

[Veronica]

No apology needed.

V.

Geez... I could have 50 more miles if I counted my trainer time.
