As of this morning, I'm at 149.66/150. It's all gravy from here on. Can I have a 75 mile weekend? We will see.

Yeah, you just keep on telling yourself that's why you can't do more - maybe someone will believe it.  I did not see anyone of the boners increasing their goal by 250% from the previous month's riding for this challenge, why would any of the Goddesses?  The high percentages over goal represents a love of riding, and some Goddesses achieving things that have suprised even themselves. I'll tell you what you can do with your sandbag......

Sorry I've been slacking off this week guys, but Wifey and her paperwork have been demanding plenty of my time The "dreaded" sister-in-law is in town this weekend, so I'll be able to break away and get some miles over the next few days

We have already been through this part of the discussion before Tania. IF you really wanted to be a big baller, up your goal so that it continues to challenge you through the end of the month. I hit my goal last weekend and decided it wouldn't be fair to keep that goal -- accusations of sandbagging being what they are -- so I upped it by another 40% to 700 miles.

Besides, I thought this wasn't about the miles you ride but how close you come to accomplishing your goal -- that is why we are working on percentages and not raw numbers. It seems to me that you are going off of raw numbers. I would recommend that you check back with your team to make sure that is the official team stance.

You clearly did not understand my post -- I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Don't get down on the boys -- it is going to cost you at the end of this month.

Hey Goddesses - because the Boneheads are droning ON and ON and ON and ON about sandbagging, and whining about the (hand to forehead) UNFAIRNESS of it all.....I'll take the 'recommendation' of one ever so helpful Tbone and check back with my sister Goddesses. Do you think I am sandbagging and being unfair if I don't raise my goal? I never in a million thought that I would ride my bike this much after only doing 201 last month, or I would have set it higher to begin with. Should I go for 500? My only fear is some kind of hideous equipment malfunction on my century tomorrow, but that can't really be controlled. I'll take your recommendations.


Tania,

Because you got so down on my boys, why don't you increase your goal? I honestly don't think you sandbagged when you set you goal. But wouldn't increasing that goal so that it could continue to push you through the end of the month be the sporting thing to do?

Sorry, the "divide & conquer" tactic won't work with the Goddesses.  We are a TEAM (unlike the Boners).  Nice try, though.

I rode 158 miles last month....now i'm shooting for 500....is that above 250% more? I don't know you do the math.

Renee,

I am not questioning honor. My point is if you are going to come in here and your smack talk gets to the level where one of your team members is calling out one of our team members because she has ridden more miles than he has, she is going to get called on it. For her to go back to your thread and claim we are picking on her, please...

Point of fact -- I do not think Tania set her goal too low. I believe her when she says she is achieving new heights in cycling because of the challenge. I have stated that on this thread.

All I am saying is if she wants to compare apples to apples, she should compare percentages because we are all at different levels, yada, yada. And if she wants to continue to be challenged by goals, she should reevaluate hers and increase it. If not, so be it. I am not really worried about what percentage of goal she achieves and I hope she does well.

Mike

Well the whole point of it all is to get everyone to ride...and that's being accomplished. I'd happily lose if it means you all are being pushed to do more than you would otherwise.

Besides, I'm saving my "secret weapon" for the final week!
