Aw, shucks!!

Glad to see you and snowtulip will be tearing up the trails together down there! Have fun!

Jeff, I copied the TE girl image from the photo of the temporary tattoo on the website - no need to send me an image. Hope this is okay - if not, just holler.

I know.....I think snows offer is amazing! I'm getting really stoked about trying MTB'ng.

Did you get the image posted?....I was there earlier and didn't see it...but I wasn't really looking either!

I just checked and it shows that the photo is under review. Slantz keeps a sharp eye on the images - must only allow a certain type of porn to appear.

Thanks, Jeff, for your help!

Ok, I'm going to give this a try. Do you count your indoor trainer miles or outdoor miles only. I'm not sure I have enough discipline to keep track of miles, but I'll try and turn a new leaf. CorsairMac, when we go out you might have to remind me to keep track of miles.

Also, do you all set monthly goals like Veronica? Does it keep you motivated?

Enjoy!

Good going, snowtulip. I think you can log whatever type mile you have. Just go there and poke around, I think there is a way to differentiate. You realize, of course, that my total lifetime indoor trainer miles are probably under 10, so I'm not much help there.

As for motivation, just watching my relative rank on BJ is enough to keep me logging the miles. I'm trying to stay above #1000, but that might get tough once the weather warms up and I wilt while everyone else is riding centuries.

Goals? Yep. Weekly, monthly, yearly, all that. Most are confidential, though. I like breaking the ceiling of goals, so I set a bunch for myself.

I'm certainly counting indoor miles although I think purists don't. This fall I'm going to try to ride later in the season but there are daylight/safety concerns for the daily commute that the mommy in me just balks at. I set goals, especially indoors, because it's so boring and I need the cardio work. I just try to enjoy when I'm riding outdoors and it seems like my mileage is always higher (than indoors) each week because I'm having fun! Trying to keep my OCD tendencies under control!

As several of the BJ threads have discussed - you can track whatever miles you want. Indoor, outdoor, both, tri!......it's a personal journal so You decide how to track it. I set an annual goal and then worked out how many miles a week I needed to fulfill that goal. Since I am now Woefully behind that, I will have No problem reminding you to track miles coz I"m gonna take all the miles I can get!!.......(trying to figure out the perfect bribe to maybe get some of V's miles!!)

I'm not half as smart as I thought! Our team logo (TE girl) is gigantic and fuzzy on the bikejournal.com website. I've asked Jeff if he can get me a higher quality image to use. Wouldn't want the other teams to laugh at us!

Visual: bunch of lil kids standing round in bike jerseys laughing and pointing at the TE girls! (think Little Rascals) and yes she is big and fuzzy - just like the hearts of everyone here!

Where did you see the big fuzzy photo? I went to the BJ club page and saw an "under view" space. Has this issue been resolved? I love the TE Jersey's gotta get one (soon's I lose another 30 pounds).

on another subject, I stopped counting indoor miles because of the Virtual RAAM Challenge - I wanted them to be all outdoors. For me this had a good side-effect. Not counting indoor biking miles shifted me to an eliptical trainer on rainy days and so I get in a weight-bearing workout.

[SadieKate]

I think she removed it. Used to look big and fuzzy like the logo for Amici Veloci that is still on bikejournal.com. One of these days I'll try resizing it to see if that fixes it.

[maggieH]

I doubt that resizing the tatoo image would help -- it's small to begin with. otoh if you use http://www.teamestrogen.com/images/p...fabric_lrg.jpg this image which is large, you could downsize it and it'd look fine. But is that a copyright problem?

[nuthatch]

Jeff, here at TE was extremely kind and e-mailed me a higher resolution image, so our problems are solved. Slantz has to review each image, so we won't see the new image for a day or so.

I think the image looks big and goofy on our team homepage but it will look normal to anyone browsing the team from the outside -if you go to the list of teams and pick one you know has a logo, it looks smaller and better on that public "billboard" for the team. This is just a guess. <<sigh>> Shouldn't I be doing laundry instead of playing with this?

P.S. Maggie, thanks for joining the team and thanks for the suggestion - that fabric girl is crystal clear!!!

Finally got my stats uploaded to BJ.
Must make it part of my routine to put in my bulk weekly mileages.
Keep my own stats in a spreadsheet, and always forget to upload to BJ!

[nuthatch]

Thanks, Snappy!! We'll have to increase our BikeJournal mileage goal once again!

*grumbles to self: she only did that coz I was startin to catch up to her - meenie*

who wuvs ya snappy?? you know I'm gonna have to go look now - see where I am in relationship to you. Of course, we had snow here so I'm probably out of the top 10 now and will have to claw my way back up to the feet of the Bike Goddesses out there!
