Freezing Saddles: Winter Bike Challenge (sign up open)

[rcannon100]

For what its worth, Team 11 is still last. Greg had not gotten his butt off of Team 11 (he went to team 1) – so I just booted his ass. And there is another gentleman on Team 11 who is not actually on Team 11 which I guess I will need to deal with.

Have no fear – you are still not in last.

Sun is out. Get your butt in the saddle!

You all are motivating people. I just passed 500 miles for the month. I know that some of you routinely have months that are double that (and thankfully one of those “some of you” is on Team 10 with me!) but for me that is either a new, or close to new, record. It’s been fun. Thanks!

I tend to think of them as a collective bad influence.

This month 389 miles
Last month 174 miles

June, july, and august of this past year had more miles in them (and august not by much), but that’s it. It has been fun.

Normal month: 280 miles.
This month so far: 655 miles.:p

Following in the steps of KayakCindi, I just finished my first ever 500 mile month! I never imagined that I would ever do that, and I know it’s a record for me. Thanks for all the encouragement and fun!

Congrats to all who rode through January and especially to those who knocked out really amazing milege – there are lots of you who did that!

p.s. for Ron Alford,

Last night I “updated” the software in my Garmin Edge 500, and now it’s showing an incorrect date and time.

Update: I think the Garmin re-set itself after I played with it. I went out for another ride and all seems well now. Thanks for the suggestions!

In the meantime, can we fix this somehow so my team isn’t penalized just because the ride was recorded as Jan 30 at 10:43 pm or something, when it should have been Jan 31 at 8 a.m.?

Easy answer: Get out there and ride another mile – you still have 3 hours left!
Medium answer: Add a dummy mile for today, ride a mile tomorrow without logging.
Harder: If you send me the file, I might be able to edit and fix the start time. Then you’d delete the old activity and add the new one.

moderately easy answer – delete the suspect entry, and replace it with a manual entry.

Ron,

We were thinking alike once my brain thawed out from the earlier ride – I got out there and rode another mile! Thanks everyone. I think I’m good now.

I’ve finished January with my best milage total for any month November to March thanks in part to this challenge. Thanks all for participating!

It was a blast watching y’all do a MONSTER January. I was psyched to get out and ride with a lot of you. Fantastic riding!!! You were all really amazing.

[KelOnWheels]

Rock! My goal was 240 for the month and I hit 227, now that I have cold weather gear I should be able to do even better in Febrooooary!
(I know, y’all do that in a week. )

[Rod Smith]

You girls rock! Keep up the good riding! I rode 418 miles farther in January than December.

When you say it’s been fun, it sounds like you’re done. I hope you know we have another month and a half to go! :p

I had my second biggest monthly total since I began keeping track in March. August was more because I was trying to get second place locally in the National Bike Challenge, and you didn’t make it easy.

[ShawnoftheDread]

I had my biggest month ever — by almost 300 miles. Take that, August. Thanks to everyone for the push, especially Team Five Guys.
