stupid clouds.
watch the horizon the next couple days at sunset (if the clouds ever clear). you'll be able to see it for about 75 minutes once the sun gets down. best viewing days should be today and tomorrow as far as proximity to the sun. binoculars will catch it at sunset.
if this one gets clouded out the one in november is supposed to be killer.

day 6
Woke up yesterday with a head cold, so I decided to stay home from work today. Despite getting a horrible sleep, I decided to go for a short spin on the SS hoping to sweat it out of my system. I managed to hit up one of the local trails along the way, and the conditions were quite good.

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed

They are unemployed. I say next year we need to divide it into people who work at a place they need to be at all day, and everyone else.
Both Pat and Ogreback are putting in retarded hours. I just put in a 26 hour week and am getting lapped here. Pat must be in the 30+ hours a week range at this point.
Anywhoo...
4 hours. 8-points. I saw a puddle during my ride, can I get a bonus?

And I just finished this Strava challenge, that Pat should join because I think he's at 150% and would place in the top 50 easily...
PS-The 31 day bonus should be like 60 points.
PPS-You should get points for showing the hours you work from your Pay Stub compared to the hours you put in the saddle.
PPPS-My total should be 75 at this point. Unless you give me a bonus for seeing a puddle, then it will be 76.
PPPPS-Can I have a bonus for not rounding my rides up ever? I actually go over the hour mark for each ride.
-Jim.

wish i was unemployed, then could collect some free $$$ -
living on residuals off all that porn out there...
my wife doesn't buy all my stuff, just most of it. speaking of which, i'm going to do the corporate taxes tonight while drinking - helps with the creativity aspect.
at least you didn't say unemployable.
why did i even respond?
nice job on the Giro's (i'm 2/3s done) - must have just missed you in bedminster, and at the shop..

I saw a lot of peeps out there today...I stopped at the shop to eat lunch, it was late though, left for my ride around 11 or so.
Wait, how do you have more points than me if I have 10 more hours than you? I need to get better at math so I can figure out the system. There's something hidden in those double-days that I'm not catching :hmmm:
Did you use your streak bonus yet?
PS-I got sunburn yesterday. Did anyone else get sunburn? Sunburn bonus.
PPS-Pat, join the VeloBici Challenge on VeloViewer. You can win some super cool stuff. Wool jerseys and poop like that. I'm in second on that one.
-Jim.

I have a full time job and I like Bonus Points.😉
During March - 11 days / 33 hrs. on the Bike for me. (I’m not training for anything)😛
Like Forrest Gump with running, I just felt like Cycling for last 83 days straight.:getsome:
See you out there.😎

Almost the same. 11 days, 35 hours. Those extra 2 hours are from making all my rides be 2 hours, or 5 hours instead of using the :46 rule
I'm taking off on all the bonus days from here on out :getsome:
We should all get a big ride in up this way at some point before this is over.

I commute to work 5-6 days per week and I never count my commute as a ride. (Too short) But after 5 days it is something.:hmmm:

Lothar
You commute every day? You should be adding the time + mileage to your rides each day - it's total riding time/mileage per day that counts.
Move Oleg to commuter!!!!!
While you are at it, move Jim
i'm an idea guy.
Yes Jim, i used my 7 day bonus - i'm in florida for the last week of the month, so will only ride 4 hours every other day.

I'm missing the last 8 days too. Only will have no chance to ride other than a stationary (but I will be moving). I'm gonna capture a strava file or 2 just for the hell of it...

Operator error on my GPS again today. Rode in to work but left the GPS on + timer on. Once the Garmin loses sat contact it makes for real interesting phantom ride that never happened. 😀
Here are the ghost stats:
Time-05:34:45
Elapsed Time-08:58:15
Max Speed-59.4mi/h
Avg Speed-5.2mi/h
Pretty cool that I hit 59 mph when i was at my desk! It even shows me shooting straight north about 1/2 mile.
In reality it was only about 15min at about 15mph.
http://app.strava.com/activities/44082670
Zoom in on the end point for cool GPS art, +1 pt?
Decided not to count on the ride in so took a longer route home:

I go to work, go back home for a break or two and then back home at the end of the day, so I ride for about 10 min / day.

Hahah... nice abstract gps art there - definitely a 1 pter. Also like how you plummeted to almost death valley elevation levels!
