    For the new riders on the team. You should be able to go back to 1 May and log your miles and rides. You should be able to do this until the end of the month.

    It would be a shame to miss those rides and miles.

    Signed up, joined the BA allstars and dumped the Garmin in. I will go back and log in the first week of the month as it had been erased from the Garmin.

    I recruited my husband too. I believe we have the same number of points, although his are mostly from miles, mine from days. (He’s a SAHD, so no commute)

    Cut and paste from an email I got in my capacity as the “host” for Fairfax County (on behalf of FABB). Confirmed that anyone is welcome to participate.

    Today is your last chance to join the National Bike Challenge and get credit for your May miles! You can join tomorrow but your May miles expire at midnight. I’ve reached out to some of the Freezing Saddles riders and each has signed on (with a little resistance in some cases) except for DaveK who is not going to be on the winning team unless he acts soon. Maybe I should have invited more people but I didn’t want to be a pest. Steve Claeys, Brad Hancock, Steve Offutt, Ken Buja, John Zanner, KEVIN ULRICH, Mike Collins, Kevin Obenland, Sean Chisham, Steve Appel, Randy Napiza, MARK BLACKWELL, Michael Jolley, Crystal Bee, etc. consider yourselves invited. Or sit on the sideline with DaveK. The team is strong. I don’t think we need more riders to win, but you’re all welcome to be a part of our success and if you don’t join and we don’t win, it’s your fault! :D

    Automatic for the (Strava) people! http://tapiriik.com You don’t even need to log onto dreaded Endomonmdo, your Strava rides will transfer seamlessly if I understand correctly. :)

    Tabular information on the top 10 teams. Notice the BA team has the highest points per member and has no members with under 100 points (and the greatest percentage of members with over 1000 points)

    Way cool! Really kicking butt!

    Awesome! Sorry for the hard sell. I hope everyone gets that my remarks are ‘tongue-in-cheek’ more often than not. “…sitting on the sidelines w/ DK…” for example. :P

    Anyone who missed the deadline to log May miles can still join. :) With a little pedaling and a lot of luck, a year’s supply of toilet paper can still be yours!

    Here are the internal rankings for BikeArlington All Stars.

    Over half of the team has achieved Gold already.

    Oh, if I’d seen *this*, I’d have just gone to bed instead of dicking around with EndoWORST-UI-IN-THE-Mondo.

    That’s B-L-A-C-K, N as in Night, E-L-L.

    But yes, contributed ~800 points last night. If I can keep up with Bilsko, I’m doin’ alright.

    Hmm, I guess Kevin Ulrich saw that and just went straight to bed. :D Thanks for uploading your rides, Mark. Can’t one select “Upload from Garmin” and then select “All Activities”? If not use http://tapiriik.com It comes highly recommended.

    Growing up with a classic Jewish mother has made me immune to guilt trips. I caved because of the handy-dandy website you linked. If I don’t have to deal with the hellfire and damnation of the Endomondo website, it’s a breeze.
