So I'm all signed up, and I typed in all my rides last night, but I can't seem to see anything much on the site - I keep getting time-out messages.
I guess this will be resolved with the new server? (I did donate to the server fund!) I'm looking forward to tracking my rides here!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Hmmm,... I'm not that competitive either, but... bring it on! Just so you can plan accordingly, I've got a century tomorrow and about a 52 mile ride planned on Sunday. Again, not that this is a competition or anything....

(actually, tomorrow's ride might not be a full 100 - it's an unsupported ride, and I'm not sure how long it will really be, and since I'm leading the ride on Sunday, I don't want to burn out tomorrow)

Too funny my friend - I'm going to be out of town tomorrow and next weekend is already booked so if I'm going to ride a century in Aug, Sun is the last true free day this month to get it in.....so Sunday will be my century!
Keeping you in my thoughts for both of your rides Audio: take care of yourself and enjoy!!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby!

Audio and Corsair, picture me waving from about 500 miles back! And that's where I'll probably be staying!

I want to permanently change it so I don't have to every time I enter my miles.Live like you were dying...

I don't know if there's a way to make it stay the same. It looks like the field is meant to reflect weight change just as you would report different weather each time you ride, i.e. there isn't a default setting it will display every time you record a ride. You could take it out of your lineup all together if you didn't want to fill it in each time, I guess. Originally Posted by n2deep2win

Speaking of weight, I got to see Tina Pic (Quark) up close at the Downers Grove Women's USCF International Open this afternoon and that woman is so lean! It seems like most of the pro women are small gals as well as being very low body fat. Is there an advantage to being petite in racing those technical criterium races?Last edited by nuthatch; 08-20-2005 at 05:38 PM.

N2Deep: you can also contact slantz and tell him what you're looking for. I'm not sure what you're asking since I don't track weight but Slantz can answer your questions.
Audio: Please tell me you got to ride this weekend coz I rode along with you in my head. Woke up this morning with every joint aching and allergies in complete control and a knee that decided to remind me I'm 46 - so I didn't ride.
Actually - I didn't do Anything and that's ok. I've decided now I just need to change my plans for next Sat and try that century then!

Shouldn't there be a preposition in that last sentence? I mean, it could be an american vs. kiwi English thing, but the last time I checked, rooting someone and rooting *for* someone were quite different concepts!

Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

Inside/outside miles
There's a way to figure out both inside and outside miles combined on the BJ. There's also a stat for all outside miles.
Look at some of the BJ forums. I'm on team Mahi Mahi- Furnace Creek 508 race (crewing). Also Sadie Kate started a thread on Jelly Belly which is pretty hilarious. Scroll through- this group is VERY supportive as is the Women's group here. I appreciate that. Also can only talk about bike related subjects so it keeps the riff raff out.
Seeing my miles against others is a definite challenge for me. It's fun- sometimes someone will be .4 mile ahead. So, for sure I'll catch up the next day unless....that's the other fun part. Never know when someone is going to pass you casue they did a big ride the other day and just posted it!!!
