In like Flynn.

I’m in. Note to all: it appears you can’t make corrections once you enter your data so be careful with the sticky fingers out there!

You are able to make changes for rides that day. You’ll see an “Edit” button to the left of your recorded trips for the current day.

I signed up for this one last year, but only posted a couple of rides since it really seemed to be targeted at that time for the short trips and I almost never was on the bike for less than 6 miles. I’ll check it again.

I have 9 trips logged already (I started logging in the end of June to get me into the habit)

As far I can tell, you do have to log your miles by the end of the day you rode them. You can’t log miles a single day late.

You can… they don’t mind if you do. You’re just limited to 4 trips per day. If you do 2 trips per day and miss a day, you can make it up the next day.

Just so I understand this . . . yesterday, I took three trips totalling 32 miles. For purposes of logging in this challenge, I combined them and entered one trip of 32 miles. Reviewing this thread, I think this was a mistake. I should have logged each trip separately, because each one counts (up to four per day), no?

Just want to make sure I do this in a way that benefits WABA. Thanks.

Yup. Trips are more important than mileage on this challenge. Most people log their commute to work and commute home as 2 trips.

This challenge should be very easy for any who live near Shirlington or other local “urban villages”. I’ll shoot for at least three or four trips daily. (4 a day is the max)

Thanks everyone for registering and logging those miles for WABA! As the previous poster has already replied, I’ll just reiterate that CLIF Bar is looking for trips, not miles. And the trips can be logged from anywhere in the country, so if you have friends who ride daily in much more temperate climes, please ask them to register and log miles to help us make up for the possible slow down of bike trips in DC’s wicked July heat!

I am confident that we’ll be the first 2012 beneficiary to reach 10,000 trips. The inaugural May challenge benefiting BikeWalk Kansas City and the June challenge winner, Los Angeles Bike Coalition only got to 6590 and 8900 respectively. We need an average of 323 trips per day, or 162 people logging 2 trips a day OR 81 people logging the maximum 4 trips per day to get to $10,000 for WABA. Piece o’ cake, right?

CLIF Bar and WABA will also be picking some lucky cyclists from those who log miles to win CLIF Bar and WABA swag too!

Thanks again for your help!

I almost missed logging yesterday’s rides. I’m using the Bike Brains app that’s tied to the contest, but still needed to press the “share” button after my ride (I thought it would be automatic, until checking the site today).

[bluerider]

I am in.

[Dirt]

Thanks y’all for your support. it is much appreciated!

I am so totally in. July is going to be a low mileage month due to more running and swimming, so I’m loving the “trips” aspect of this. I’m always on my bike heading back and forth from the grocery store, library, swimming pool…in fact I may start riding CaBi to head someplace else and then get my run in by running home.
