I was mixed up and mashed your names together. Mountaindan - my message is in reference to your message about having trouble adding your name. Don Haha I caught that, but din't want to be my typical smart a$$ self and say anything. Understandable considering our screen names. Yes it seems to be working now. Thanks for setting it all up!! |

It's good that you're back - the time off certainly didn't hurt your place in the standings. I hope everything went well with the surgery. On Sunday I leave for a week long cross country ski holiday. The forecast looks pretty cold which should be good for a few points. Don |

I did it last year and it was great. http://www.skisilverstar.com/snow-school/special-programs/xc-superc... I haven't really thought of doing a birkie but I might try some smaller (and shorter) races. Don |

Enter the length of activity, temp in Celsius, wind in KPH, precipitation etc - and the spreadsheet will automatically make the conversions and calculate your score. Put all of your activities for one week in one of the colour zones and there is a sum on the far right that shows the total for the week/colour. My big week is finished - I spent a very enjoyable week of vacation, cross country skiing at Silver Star resort near Vernon BC. I managed at least four hours of activity each day for five days. Temperatures started out cold but warmed up over the week - which made for very enjoyable skiing but not necessarily a ton of points. Now back to reality, work etc. Don |

I'm not sure that's a normal reaction to 40 degrees. Hi bigevilgrape I noticed that you added your name to the spreadsheet. Welcome aboard. Yes this contest can definitely create some warped thinking. The weather was quite warm in Calgary this week. Today was the only day that was cold enough to count any points. Really hoping for some snow for the ski trails. Don Edited by donw 2014-12-14 9:23 PM |

Veteran 495 Calgary | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2014 - 2015 Winter bowling on New Year's Eve day. I managed to get out of town for a few days of rest and relaxation with my family. No points for the bowling but I did manage to do some skating and running. The weather was pleasant for my getaway but I'm back in town now and the weather has turned much colder (-19 Celsius / - 2 F) Don Edited by donw 2015-01-03 5:28 PM (IMG_8884_edited-1.jpg) Attachments ---------------- IMG_8884_edited-1.jpg (864KB - 49 downloads) |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2014 - 2015 Greetings: So I know it's January but I'm wondering if you'll let me enter the challenge? Last year after biking indoors and almost going nuts, I vowed to see how long I could go without resorting to riding the trainer. So far, so good. Let me know if you've got a spot and thanks for the consideration! |

Veteran 495 Calgary | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2014 - 2015 Hi Qua17 Welcome aboard - we don't turn people away. You can add your name to the spreadsheet and start tracking. We're having a warm spell here in Calgary - I don't think I will be counting many points this week. Don |

| 1 | Subject: RE: Crappy Winter Weather Challenge 2014 - 2015 OKay I am in! To start off, today I rode up Donner Pass (from Truckee, CA up Old 40) in 20 degree, windy (at least 10mph winds with some gusts) weather and so let's see...that's what 6 points? 50min X 6 = 300 Suckitude Yeah that seams about right...wasn't too bad...do I get an extra point for taking beanie (under my helmet) off on an incline without stopping and holding it the whole way? |
