BikeJournal simply keeps track of your total mileage for the year, and when you log on at the home page, it shows you where you stand mileage-wise compared to all the other members. You can do the same thing within your bike club on the club pages, it shows you where you stand compared to everybody else in the group, and totals miles for the members so that clubs can enter a little friendly competition as well. I log my miles under the Arkansas Bicycling Club, but the TE ladies have their own group there as well where they can roll up their miles. (Apparently you can only log your miles to one particular club, to prevent double-dipping by folks who belong to more than one group.)
I check the little list when I log on there, and was quite surprised to see a familiar handle just above mine ;-)
And yes, the ride rules required helmet use, since the event insurance policy (through the League of American Bicyclists) requires helmets as a condition of coverage. Arkansas, though, doesn't require the use of bike helmets for riders of any age, and lots of folks here run the risk.
Neat pictures, and I've admired that green bike for a long time ;-)
Y'all be careful out there...
