Getting skinny yet?

Almost time to drop those winter pounds.

February, was it good for you?

Let's put it to a vote

A major rule change this year was allowing trainer miles to count 100% as opposed to 66.7% last year. How does everyone feel about this change, and do we want to change it?

Arguments for:
Spinning on the trainer can be easy as you can adjust your effort level.
Those putting in their miles outside are braving all weather conditions, and are potentially suffering much more.

Arguments against:
The rule was changed to encourage more people to join the challenge. It appears to be working.
MI is cold. CO is sometimes as cold, but not often. Even though I enjoy nicer temperatures, ergo easier miles on the road all my miles count at 100%.
No one is making you ride outside.

IT IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG

Well 2009 10K challenge is going to be seriously scary. Tim has moved up to a level 3 monk with his 20 sided di. Herriman is not going to take it anymore and has already posted one of the highest months ever recorded for the challenge. Plesko, who even has hobbies outside of biking, might break his personal record for January. Abd Fixie Dave can no longer be contained to one state and has opened the entire west as his personal back yard.

Where will the 10,000 Mile Challenge take you?

Gentlemen, turn your pedals.

Almost Done!

Congratulations to everyone. Looks like a majority of us either have hit or will hit the 10,000 mile mark before the year is out. I have really enjoyed this competition, and will do it again next year. It's funny how stuff like this can motivate us to ride, and keeps me in touch with my friends. I hope everyone has a great holiday season.

Any ideas or comments for next year?

Kickin' it

It appears some of the troopers are still alive and kickin'. Tim isn't letting up, and Robert is finishing the year strong. Brent is racing all over (literally), and Dave should be hitting the target this week.

Good luck to the Icemen this weekend.
