I took second in the individual category last year, thought it might be fun to informally put a “team” together from Arlington and enter

BikeArlington seems too obvious. Something with East Coast? Mid-Atlantic Something or other?

possible names:

Custis Cruisers
22001ers
Retrocessors
Mount Vernon Trailblazers

I did the challenge in 2011, but for some reason only logged my commutes for half of Bike to Work Month. I’ll do it again in 2012 and will join whatever team we set up here. I don’t see a way to just download my rides there from my Garmin.

I’ve already signed up for the Bike Arlington team on the Endomondo.com National Bike Challenge that runs from May 1 through August 31. I believe there is still one space available on that team.

Name? How about the Arlington Loopies?

Ooooh, I like. Everyone?

Everyone that wants included PM me your email, looks like I need to register as it sends a message for verification. As usual, I’d use a spam account just in case, but I haven’t been really pestered by them historically. Looks like the team caps at 9 members

[CCrew]

Set up as “Arlington Loopies” with Organization name as “Bike Arlington #1” . Dunno if you can add yourself, but if not just PM Me your email and I’ll add asap.

Now have the highest milage and number of trips, a close second on percentage.

Sorry about that percentage thing- I’ll usually have decent mileage but percent will always be low since I do 1-way 25 mile legs a few times a week and the occasional 50 mile RT. My goal next week is 100 miles but that’s still only 40%…

…annnd then I look at CCrew’s miles/trip and I am humbled (56 a day!)

My commute options are 25 mi one way from FFX to the Navy Yard, or take the bus to the Pentagon and ride 6.2 mi each way to the Navy Yard. I usually ride the entire 25 once or twice a week. I will need to step it up to carry my weight in this group. I will keep the # of trips and % high though.
