The National Bike Challenge is on!

[KLizotte]

I bumped into Mark B at about 8:00ish pm on the MVT. He reported that Tim came in 2nd place -whoohoooo! He didn’t mention any injuries so I presume the crew finished up ok though some probably came home to a house without power. Augh.

I’m currently tied for 1st place for the month of July. Woohoo!!!

[DCLiz]

Dabnabbit. I didn’t win the bike this month, either. And I don’t think any of us won the year’s supply of TP.

I was 4th place on the DC/VA/MD list earlier today but the GC contenders are moving up. I should have taken a screen shot. I’m 17th as I write this.

I am planning a midnight ride that ends about 1215 am on 1 Aug. For a moment, I will be number 1 in America!

My miles from Total200 didn’t count since I wasn’t able to enter them until late on July 1st. Oh well.

Really? That’s crazy! You should contact them and see if they can fix that.

I just put a comment on the Challenge National site site in favor of Pete getting his points.

p.s. Pete had already posted a comment about this on the Challenge site earlier, but with no result.

I think they count for your final total, Just not for the June prize drawings.

[Arlingtonrider]

Oops – hit like again when i meant to hit reply.

Pete said that they would not let him count them at all, for either June or July. So its not just a question of the prize drawing for June.

He already sent a comment to them, but with no result. That’s why I wrote again tonight.

August 1st is my birthday — I was thinking that this year I should adopt the custom of riding a mile for every candle. That should get me up there! For about a minute.

Nope. My June points total is the same as it was June 29th . The points didn’t ever add in. The miles that I’ve done match what I have in Strava for the last 2 months. Just the points are off. Oh well. No big deal.

Just use that as a caution. Get your monthly miles in before 6am on the 1st.

It was fixed this morning. My “entire period” total went up by about 200 points. They did capture it. It is just weird that if you add up the months, they don’t equal the total. That is okay by me.

Just looked at the Bike Arlington A team results.

Superstars so far are consularrider and Will, with a ride every day of the competition. Consularrider has a daily average of 40 miles. Consularrider is our team’s Cal Ripkin and Will is the Energizer Bunny (or is it the other way around?). Huzzah!

Tim Kelley has only missed 8 days of riding so a tip of the hat to him as well!

The team has logged about 10500 miles, with consularrider leading the team.

We have less than two months to go. Keep it up!

Actually I did log a ride on that day, but it was less than 0.5 mi so it doesn’t show up on the team page. I did check the points when I logged that and I got the 20 points still. But yeah usually I try to make sure I do at least 0.51 to make sure it shows up.

I think Tim is behind on logging some miles (y’know like, over 200 of them), or he’d be ahead of me.
