It’s a great cause, and documenting trips is important from a transporation perspective, but the website is terrible. That and I keep forgetting to log my return trip from work!
I don’t really have any major problems with the interface. Entering my timesheet at work is far worse. I figure the 1 minute each day it takes to enter the rides is small beans compared to WABA getting $10K. I’m sure the recession has hurt their fundraising so any money they get is much appreciated.
I posted Dirt’s original message along with WABA’s followup on the bike commuter listserv at work and some people signed up as a result. Please help get the word out!
For those of you who don’t like to click to the page where you log your miles, you could just bookmark http://2milechallenge.com/dashboard/ and go directly to that page. If you’re not logged in, it will ask for logon ID and password before getting you there. Mine asks me for Logon ID if I haven’t logged on for a few days on a particular computer, iPad or phone.
Thanks for the link, it works good on the iPhone. I’ve been logging my two trips daily!
Plus CLIF Bar makes a $1 donation for each trip, up to the $10,000 maximum. So if the total number ended up being 9,999, that wouldn’t be a problem. WABA would receive $9,999 instead of $10,000.
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.
I sometimes use CaBi to warm up before I start running. I’ve even done some warmups on CaBi right before 5K running races. My legs seem to warm up better on the bike than by running. I also do extra cool-downs on CaBi after some runs, but not always.
