Corsair, there's hope yet we might catch Audio (for a brief period!)

Maybe if we linked our bikes together and counted ALL the miles being logged on ALL the computers, we Just might be able to do that!! (coz my vintage Trek came through Mon night....the sweet 1989 Trek 1100 with the 50 cm frame....which fits me like a driving glove! oh yeah!)

I just got a cateye astrale 8 for 29.00 - measures back or front miles/speed because there are two sensors, and it counts cadence!

GREAT for the trainer - now to figure out how to install it! nah.....I'll make the boy child aka LBS employee do it for me

Next thing I know Im gonna want a GPS and a computer that is wireless so I can bluetooth my ride info into my pc and upload it to directly to bikejournal.com...and a new polar that will do the same !!!!

now ya see where I earned my moniker?

ROFL tech...my first thought when I saw your post was: what happens if your back tire is moving faster then your front tire! LOLOLOLOL.....can you tell I"m Just not with it today! But thanks for the tip on the cateye...coz I'm seriously looking at those...trying to get my LBS to start carrying them. and tell me about the boy childs at the LBS.....I thought the US had outlawed child labour but these boys sure don't look much over 16!!

I'm off the bike for a week. You guys want to share some of your miles with my bike so she doesn't get lonely?

[Pedal Wench]

Aghhh- no worries - I've been on the trainer all week I haven't logged a mile since the weekend, and my good bike is on her way to Colorado anyway.(I'll be joining her shortly!)

Corsair...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I'm right there with ya! well ya know - on a trainer the back wheel actually DOES move faster cuz the front wheel aint spinnin!

So see? you weren't confused! When the boy child got his first high dollar computer, we teased him that he only needed it to make sure the wheels were spinning the same speed LOL

Hi All!

I have a question about this....

Is it helpful for "newbies" who may not log a high number of miles to join or does it "mess up" the team stats?

I'm willing to help, in the sense of keeping the percentages of paying members up; yet, I don't want my doing so to mess up team stats somehow?
I'm going to be low mileage! (Hill slug!)

Thanks for your honest replies!

Julbee - don't worry about how your mileage affects the team. This isn't about team stats other than just for fun. The intensity of rides for each person is different, such as a mountain biker or a roadie who lives in the mountains. The miles for these rides may be low but require a huge effort per mile. Look to your own goals and celebrate your accomplishments. The team stuff is just icing on the cake! We're the Ladies' Mutual Aid and Admiration Society for any goal you choose.

Personally, I've got to get back to practicing my wheelies.

Thanks for paying up and supporting Slantz. He puts in an incredible amount of time babying that site.

and if your sensor is on the front, your mileage will be extremely low!

I've got to work on wheelies *and* jumps! heehee

Namaste,
