Do you mind telling me how you did that? THere is another forum that I have tried to post on using the same page setup that I could not post pics on either. I'd love to know how to do it right.
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 am waiting for the new bike to even bother. the FJR was sold before i put more than 100 miles on it so i didn't bother and the Meanie hasn't seen more than a couple hundred itself. hopefully by next week i will have something to post.

rbentnail · 05-13-2008

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

STR8RZR · 05-14-2008

LOL,,I just saw this sticky,,glad I missed it! Thats all I need is MORE INCENTIVE to ride! My wife already thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I will try it next year, by then she will know I'm crazy.

zedx11 · 05-14-2008

you can still enter if you want.

at least it will keep track of how many miles you are riding.

bosscat · 05-15-2008

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.

I have barely ridden this season. I hope the weather starts coorperating and I can start working less hours.

*ispeed77* · 05-15-2008

i just need to get a new odometer to post so my riding counts, but yeah, same here with the weather. that's ok, its coming

bosscat · 05-15-2008

shame I cant count from Jan 1, I'd be at 5000 miles. Oh well maybe next year someone will start a 12 month contest.
