    If I ride 2 miles to church or out to dinner I log it... it adds up. I had over 300 miles of short commutes last year.

    My favorite tool is online. Not just metric to American and Imperial and vice versa, but cooking conversions (e.g., how many grams of ground almonds in a tablespoon?), conversions from archaic units that you might come across in literature or religion, speed to pace... it's fun to just look at the site!

    Hey, that is really cool, just removed all the banners and even better. Agree with you, the Cooking Conversions are excellent.

    So, my distance per year will be equivalent to 60,000 Chinese Imperial yin!

    Thanks OakLeaf, that is so very useful.

    Raven, no worries at all! I wasn't offended at all; just curious. TE isn't listed as my primary club so Thorn's response probably explains it. I don't count my indoor miles so that's not it. I've never completely understood how club miles are calculated. In any event, I'm impressed by all of TE's miles. It's sure impressive. Hat's off, ladies (and Mr. Silver).

    Gotta say I like those km too.

    As far as 2009 miles. We've had offically 69.5" of snow since Dec. 17th. There's barely room for cars on the roads. So it's back to riding the trainer three times a week. I count my indoor miles. I figure indoor miles should count even more than road miles. Especially when I have no other biking options. Although we are going to So. California for a couple of weeks in February. I WILL get some road miles in then. bikerHen

    It's not as snowy here but still icy enough to make me stay home. Hopefully it will melt tomorrow and I'll get some miles in this week. If I start missing the snow can I come visit you bikerHen? I'm from Nebraska and used to snow during the winter!

    Come on up! Although with the wind and rain we've had the last two days the snow is melting fast. Now of course there are huge, HUGE puddles everwhere. Of course there's still lots of snow in the mountains. bikerHen

    I find myself getting surprisingly competitive about this, and I'm not a particularly competitive person. I have been logging my 8.5 commuting miles as soon as I get home from work, seeing my ranking climb. Then today, I was down one spot again!
