2500 mile race

[mimitabby]

Kay Tee, looks like you did it just right, and I hope you don't get rained out either because you're our champion!

OK, I just saw the other thread (not a morning person!) - of course this group always has great answers. Thanks, Ladies. I will keep my primary club affiliation on BJ with TE. Go, TE!

Am I posting my mileage incorrectly? I have signed up for the challenged...First put TE as my primary club and have since changed it to 2007 - 2500 mile race club. I go to Journal, add ride. I have done 28 miles on my trainer since last week. It shows up in my journal, but doesn't show up anywhere else. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is a spot in your profile where it is default checked to not include indoor rides. You need to uncheck that.

Btw, I just added the 2500 mile club.

[RoadRaven]

Well... I wanted to join this race, but the rules on bikejournal say you must never have done 2500 miles in a year before...

Although my 2006 goal was 3500km/2187miles... I actually rode just over 4000km which is just over 2500miles.

Good luck you 14... I would have liked to have been #15!

I just noticed that Team Estrogen club is #5 in the club ratings on BJ right now!

(Sad that I just barely do not qualitfy for the 2500 race, but at least my miles in general go towards TE club's overall miles. I'll be one of the 2500 race cheerleaders!! )

Thanks SouthernBelle...I changed my profile and now see my miles ...

[KayTee]

Well, I should have had my coffee and read the rules closer before I joined the 2500 mile race yesterday (or whenever). I've exceeded that before so do not qualify. Sorry, girls! I'm passing the 2500-mile baton now to No. 2, Regina (go 7Rider!), and transferring my miles to TE's total. Just got back from our ride today and didn't get rained on until we were almost home. So a good day anyway.

There's another option for Those of Us who have too many miles in our past: the "Valentine's Day" goal of getting 400 miles by then. (Of course, where you live has a lot to do with how attainable that is.) It's not a race - just a mutual goal. Everybody's allowed, and a lot of eople have jumped on even tho' it's a long shot.

[KayTee]

Thanks, Geonz, I will def check that out.

Yikes, seeing that big fat zero beside my name is certainly going to get me on that trainer. I've been out of town but going to get riding asap. Go TE!!!

[tattiefritter]

Can someone explain to me how I get my miles to count for both TE and the race. When I affiliate to TE they show up in the TE list but not the Race and vice versa. Is this what is supposed to happen or am I just being dense (wouldn't be the first time).

Is it worth being a premier member (at the very least to give something back)?

I signed up for the TE Club and the 2500 mile club but my miles only show up under the 2500 mile club. The 2500 mile club shows me in 2nd place but I'm not sure that's correct. Same question as fritter...how do I get them to show up for both?

[lph]

Wheee!

I'm in - and in 2nd place

[kelownagirl]

Well I have TE as my primary club and several others, like the 2500 mile club, as additional ones. That's the first thing you have to do. Also, if you want trainer miles to show up, go to your profile and make sure that box is checked/unchecked - whichever.

I like being a premier member because I can do lots of filters on my journal and check out various stats. ie. mtbike versus road, hills versus flats, all my rides on a certain route etc. Plus I get the cute yellow jersey by my name.
