Bike to Work Month

[consularrider]

Peter, since I already commute 100% by bike, and it’s over two miles one way, how do I add much value to the true underacheivers on the Blue team for the 2MC? I’m only able to add two more errand trips per week! :rolleyes:

I love the calorie burn meter on the cascade challenge. I’m a newbie at longer-distance commuting, but have caught the bug completely. Got 2,209 miles on my computer since I installed it on Jan 3, plus a couple hundred more on other bikes. So that’s a pace for nearly 7k miles this year if I can keep it up. Main motivations? Saving $10 a day on Metro fares and getting grimaces when I “complain” about how I have to keep eating constantly to avoid additional weight loss. Pre-ride breakfast, second breakfast, first lunch, second lunch, pre-ride snack, dinner, bedtime snack. I’m getting hungry…

I love the Blue Team. If you look at their stats, they did REALLY well considering how many fewer people they had riding for them. Underdog? yes. Underacheivers? Maybe not.

Dirt, this thread was just used as an example in a continuing education class for transportation planners (that I happened to be sitting in on). When I saw that you were a Most Senior Member, I had to stifle it.

That is my contribution to this thread.

(Well, that and that I’m working for the Gold Team, these days.)

Finally a title that I’m truly deserving of.

Hey…. I got third place in the “most miles overall” category!

I’m a wiener! err Winner… err… probably the first one.

What did I win? Bragging rights I guess?

You get to be smug and superior for all eternity.

Seriously though, great job. You’re an inspiration and a great example of making life work well on a bicycle.

1,430 miles in may is ridiculous. You’ll have to move farther out to take top spot next year. Congrats
