10,000 miles in one month?

Sure, if you count all the miles TRC members and their friends log during National Bike Month, May 1 through May 31st.

Will you help us?

Just keep track of all your mileage on a bicylce during the month of May and come back here to record it. Record your mileage once each week or once at the end of the month, it doesn't matter. Please follow these guidlines:

If you record each week, use only your totals for that week both for recreational and commuter mileage. We don't want to count your miles more than once. I'll be updating the table below regularly except for the week I'm in the desert with the crazy-team.

What is a commuter mile? Keep it simple. If I ride 20 miles and stop at the PO box on the way home, I get to count the miles I'd drive to that post office which for me is 7 x both directions=14 miles commuting. So I count 20 miles for total mileage and another 14 for commuting.

The difference is not recreational mileage. When I'm on a bike all my miles are recreational.

Enter your miles each week on Monday or
all at once on June 1.

Okay, here's a tip: don't try refreshing your browser after you enter your mileage. I expected to see my mileage appear and when it didn't, I refreeshed, twice. That's why I've got three entries. I've deleted the last two in the file but the form doesn't allow me to delete.

Remember you can make your miles count for chairty at Plus3Networks.

I'm using a new Free web page called Plus 3 Network to track and log my workouts. It's neat because Plus 3 has provided a Sponsor for me so that every mile I log raises money for a Cause and allows me to earn rewards as well.

It's free, and it's a unique way to make our activities count for the greater good. Join me and we can all begin "Making It Count".

If you upload your rides from a GPS, you'll earn .02 per mile. I generated $40 for Safe Routes to School in the first 3 months of 2009. That's more than I'd contribute otherwise 'cause I'm cheap.
