New user  11 |  Subject: "shoot for the moon" in 2010ok..i just want to throw this out there and see if anyone is interested...with the help of BTers I think we can make this an interesting challenge... So im a science teacher and was just discussing how many miles there are from the earth to the moon. well there are 238857 miles. so i thought..maybe ill try and ride that many miles before next new years...NOT GONNA HAPPEN..would be over 650 miles a day... So i thought maybe teams could log miles and see who could get to the moon first... Then i thought instead of mile per mile how about min per mile. that would be 3981 hours or 165 days. would could put together teams and do either or. I could keep and excel spread sheet..and teams could email me miles/min at the end of each week. dont know what we could do for prizes... Let me know what you think..lets race to the moon |

Master 2429 Falls Church, Virginia | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 What a cool idea. What about trainer vs. road time? I guess if you're counting minutes it doesn't matter much. I'd be in. |

Expert 671 | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 I'm in. Would bike commuting count or only specific training rides? I think logging time on BT should be a requirement like the other challenges. |

New user 11 | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 ok..looks like some people seem to be down. im new to BT so i dont really know how to organize it on here..and should we do teams of 2 or 3 or ride solo...it will be min...some people asked about counting run min as well..im down for that if you guys want....if you want to promote all 3 sports we can count swim mins too...so when we figure how we are going to organize this we can get started... |

I don't know how to organize a challenge, either, I just got into them myself. However, I will say that this will probably have to be teams. If we're going minute based, even including all tri sports, it means over 75 hours a week, and I don't know many people who train that much! I would contact one of the mods for some pointers on how to run a challenge, and maybe do a quick headcount of how many people we have interested. Maybe we only need one team, or two? |

Expert 1128 Boston | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 OK. I've never set up a challenge spreadsheet before but I played around and I've got one entitled shoot to the moon. Nobody's name is one it yet and depending on how many people there are we can break into teams. I don't have time right now to figure this all out but we are on step closer. If anyone else wants to take a stab at it before I can...feel free! If there is more than one team (which I think will be fun) then we will need to think up names. ie Tranquilty Base... Dark Side of the moon...etc... |

Master 1887 Brentwood, CA | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 Just my two cents, but two teams would be more challenging. I'm decent with spreadsheets, so I could help with that. |

New user 11 | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 Getting great feed back..so far it looks like 15 people have shown interest..I say we do 3 teams of 5 or try and get to 20 and have two teams of 10. were to the spread sheets for challenges get kept on this sight??I think 2 teams of ten would work out good..we can make it happen and work out the kinks for Shoot for the moon 2...Im a math and science guy so i would love to keep all time stats and records and make this a constant challenge... This could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship.... Brad |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: "shoot for the moon" in 2010 Hey ! I want to play too!!!! Put me on a team and let me know what we can log minutes of- biking only, S/B/R or any other activities. Personally I would vote for S/B/R or just Bike. It would take longer but hell we've got 363 more days!!!! |
