Thanks again.
It's cuz I'z got l334 hax0rez sk1llz

Seriously... I could not link directly from your google account. I loaded the page, captured the image from my screen, and saved it on my own web space.

You'll need something like Photobucket, Flickr, or some other hosting site that allows direct linking to the photos.

That is correct, and yes, it's a disadvantage to a few people (including those of us who can ride year-round... I've done over 8km between the end of the last "race" and the beginning of this one), but it puts everyone on an even level. If the race went all year, some would be able to complain that those of us that can ride year round have an unfair advantage (even though it's too hot to put on a lot of miles in the summer here)....

The main disadvantage is to new users like yourself... sorry, it's gonna' happen with a site that grows as fast as this one... we'll probably get 20 new users the week before the end of the race. The announcement for the race was posted well in advance of April 1.

There will probably be another one next year.

I'm at a little over 4000 miles so far. I'm just getting ready to leave for another 2000 miles in a week. This is fun!

I've done 2500 and change so far. No where near enough to be winning but still more than usual for me.

just hit the 12,000 mile mark today subtracting my starting number of 10393 leaves me with 1607 miles. Damn I need to plan a roadtrip or maybe an iron but ride to try to do some catching up.
