Great, thanks!
OK, women, here's another question. I'm very new to the TE boards. Should I log in my miles only since joining TE, or since January 1st? Yes, I really am this geeky to ask about this. Almost seems like an ethical question if we're competing against other teams. Wanna be a clean team! ;-)

OK. I've added my 43 miles. Now I'll have to get my bike assembled so I can go out and ride some more.
(I'd add some for all those hours in spin class, but wouldn't know how to guesstimate them, and then too ... what're the ethics of that?)Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

I added my 21 miles to the total. Only 429 more until I meet my goal

Starfish: the choice is yours my friend. I didn't know about TE or BJ when I first started riding but I added the bulk miles just as soon as I found out. We'll take whatever miles we can get!!
and Geek: ROFLMAO about the Red Shirts.....oh yes - you will find quite a few Tek-Heads on this board. My only question: when the Red Shirts go for a ride, how ya'll gonna pick which one doesn't come back?.....I mean since ya'll will be a Red Shirt?

I guess we figure there's more safety in numbers.... and since we're not taking any command-level officers with us, we're probably safer than most of our counterparts
Of course, we've all accepted that we're expendable, so I guess we'll just draw straws if it comes to it

I added all my miles last night! I didn't know if I should add from the beginning of the year (as Starfish asked), but I did. Glad too see we made it to the top 10.

I love the name -- but I'm not sure I'd like the fate of being a Redshirt. Maybe you have a promotion after X miles and get a blue or a yellow shirt, or more notches on your collar Originally Posted by residentgeek

I hadn't posted miles since last Sunday, and added 195 miles for the week - the most miles in one week so far this year! The Mines Rd. ride yesterday helped....

I've signed up too. Only 45km so far, but that was testing my beautiful new bike
. I'm sure I'll do a lot more this summer.

Hi there all... well, finally got my A into G and posted my kms for the year 2006
1356.42 km (only about 840 miles)
It is over 66 hours of ride time... wow... interesting to have that calculation sitting there!
I see as a club, TE is still sitting in 8th place with 54,900 miles!!!
Way to go ladies!
(only 4232 miles to reach current 7th place holders...)
Do I enter my rides for 2005... or the total for 2005 rather, not each individual ride - or is it not worth it?Last edited by RoadRaven; 05-15-2006 at 11:03 PM.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

The really funny part is, all the security guards here just switched to their summer uniform, which is a red polo shirt and black pants. And they have no idea why we were cracking up about that for the first two weeks
