Keeping Score

[dachshund]

Bikejournal allows you to specify a club, like TE, I take it? I wandered over there once, but you have to register to see anything. I guess that was 30 seconds I didn't have at the time.

Go ahead, register! And count your miles for Team Estrogen! We're still in the top ten, I think... I"m shooting to get in the top 250...

I'm just trying to keep bike miles greater than car miles, which includes a lot of commuting and errand running. (Of course, with the Xtracycle, I don't have to do a lot of thinking about errands.) The trip to Maryland (1500 miles at least) will make things a little closer... hard to guage which miles are "green" when I turn a 15 mile commute into a 44 mile one 'cause it's a nice day. If I pick up a few aluminum cans to recycle along the way it's even greener :-)

Every mile counts! And every time somebody sees you, RIDING, they just maybe might think "hey, that's something to think about!"

http://www.bicyclinglife.com/Practic...ing/index.html has some neat info & inspiration :-) I *love* waiting two months between visits to the gas station. I s'pose I could be getting my hair cut more often.

Dachshund - the various Different Spokes clubs are also on bikejournal.

I love the idea of logging Green Miles. Now, to figure out how to add it to my logs (yes, plural, sigh).

The miles do add up. And remember, the short, stop-and-start, sitting-in-traffic, never-quite-warm-the-engine-properly miles are harder on your car's engine & use much more gas than long highway miles. Hmm, do you think that Green Miles should count double? I've talked myself into it.

thanks to this thread i found out about bikejournal.com

i am now registered and added team estrogen to my "clubs" considering i have no club where i live, i now feel special.

i logged my miles on https://www.polarpersonaltrainer.com/frontend/ but that was a combined running and cycling. now i have a place just for cycling... though is there a place to log miles online for running too just like bike journal?

Hey, Chickwhorips, try www.coolrunning.com to log your running miles. I have been there for six years now and like it. You can do graphs of your miles and a whole bunch of stuff, free.

I like Beginner Triathlete for logging everything, but still log on BikeJournal for the TE club. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/

Also free.
