    Somehow, I don't think "alexp" should be at #1 on the general stats. Bulk loading 6,000 miles at midnight new year's day... hmmmm, does that count?

    can I do it, too?

    LOL...

    I just entered this morning's ride and am leading TE but only by 23km - that Tricksy Lion Girl (triskeliongirl). And Diving Biker has logged miles too. So far only three of us... must revel in my glory while I can - I will be knocked down a few pegs pretty soon I am guessing.

    And I am at 27th place in the overall standings - only 37km behind the leader (needapush from Mount Barker, Texas, obviously doesn't need pushing...!)

    Knotted - alexp has been removed from Number 1... thank goodness - over 9000km in the first day or so - a bit hard to credit

    CA - I guess Velobambina is linked to a different club? I am not logged in there now, but she didn't show in the TE rankings...


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    You go RR!!! You got that nice summer vibe going on now, so you should be getting in the miles. The next two days here are going to be brutal in terms of temps. If I get outside for a ride, my wipe-out bruised knee will get iced the natural way. LOL

    Maybe I'll join when I get back from the ride I'm about to go on. Should be about 50km in lovely warm weather, calm (unlike yesterday ) and there's just enough cloud cover to avoid getting burned to a crisp.

    I did 402 miles last week and am taking today **off** (not counting the errand or two). Still, my two miles had me in the top 100 early in the morning! (Not for long...) But... I logged 'em for the Rouge Croix group 'cause it's the first of the month.
    Great start of the year, ladeez!!!

    I did two miles. When I left for my bike errand, I would've been #78 with 2 miles. By the time I got back, I was 360-something with my 2 precious miles.

    I was GOING to ride 40-50 today. I even went to bed early and set my alarm. But the cold I was fighting leapt out and tackled me. (even my 2 miles left me standing along the road hacking up a lung and honking my nose into my hankie)

    Partly sunny dry day here in Seattle, hope lots of good riding for the Seattlites today!

    I noticed that too KnottedYet and I personally feel it's not right! I don't think it should count. That's my two cents.

    Looks like it's been knocked off. I hope it was just an honest error (I just signed up and thank goodness I didn't do that, but I'm lucky I didn't do something equally awful!).

    there was a post on BJ explaining that it was an error, and he fixed it.

    Welp, 6000 miles the first day... it's not as if it were going to fool anybody so I figgered it was an honest blunder - sometimes a goal ends up in the mileage spot or a decimal disappears.

    Supposed to be 7 degrees tomorrow morning - I'll have one of those 'beat the temperature with your mileage' rides by the time I'm at work! Will have to stopby the hardware store for some of those hand warmer thingies to have in case I break down and have to fix something, tho' I suspect I'll use the cell phone and cancel a "car-free day" (one of the bikejournal challenges).

    I'm gonna try to meet the 400 miles by Valentine's Day challenge.

    I bought a 2nd computer for New Years, so now each of my bikes has one. Wanna keep track of mileage this year, and see what I actually do.

    Way to go RoadRaven!!!

    With a couple (few?) feet of snow on the ground and no knobbies, I've been relegated indoors. I just looked at the bikejournal website for the first time and didn't find an answer to the question lingering in my mind:

    Can you log indoor/trainer miles on the journal? Or, are people only logging outdoor/riding miles? Just curious if there's some sort of journal etiquette that I need to know. Thanks!

    Well, I like being in 3d place because of alphabetical order. I had plans to ride Tuesday when it was 60 out, but the run off from the melting snow was awful. Even on my heavy Voodoo bike, (with no fenders), I wasn't really looking forward to it. There was hardly room on the street for cars.
    Tomorrow is going to be in the high forties and clear. The snow is gone until Sunday night, so maybe a ride tomorrow.
