Hah! All I get are crickets too! Sometimes someone will say "you are insane" but most of the time, I think nobody 'gets it'. To them my little milestone of going 60 miles is no more impressive than riding the 20 I was doing several months back, because they think they couldn't do more than four so I'm just crazy. But if I were to say "I rode the distance between my house and Northern Chattanooga today" I'll get a response.
Most of the time on FB I stick to the weather, my garden, and what I made for dinner. People seem to like that. *Yawn*

Yep - so I don't even mention how far I ride any more, just that I had a good ride and leave it at that. I am more likely to give a deer count that I saw or post a cool picture - they seem to like that more. I don't get more personal than that...

Whenever I post something about riding on FB, people go "13 miles? Are you nuts? Wow!" I think it's funny.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Indeed there is one for the store, which is nice Originally Posted by zoom-zoom

While I do like FB and find a use for it, I think it would be overkill to create a FB page for TE board members - what would we discuss there that we don't discuss here? There are also many TE members who wouldn't be comfortable on FB, and many of us simply wouldn't use it... Personally I would only use it if I created an alias FB identity just for that purpose.
