I try to ride the extra bit to round out those numbers. If it has been a super hilly ride though sometimes the legs rebel and then its straight up to the front door and inside for a rest.Originally Posted by kiwi girl
Last night when I got to my front gate after my group ride my computer read 49.57 km - so of course I went for a spin around the block to get it up to 50- how about the rest of you - what do you do in a similar situation, call it a day or ride the extra little bit

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Doing laps in the parking lot. Too many times to count. I'm pathetic...

You mean some people DON'T take a lap or two around the parking lot to even up the numbers?!
I never would have guessed.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

I don't think I ever have. So there are some weirdos out there! Originally Posted by MomOnBike

I usually round down to the nearest 0.5 mile for my log.

I would NEVER ride around a parking lot to pick up extra miles - I ride up and down my street instead. If the neighbours are out I just tell them I'm testing some changes I made to the bike!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
