Eric,
It counts as biking milage, since it only has 2 wheels! 

You know I wonder if you don't work for the Associated Press.  Clearly that is a doctored photo, and as such we must wonder if the real reason you have hit your biking miles for the month (2 weeks ago no less) is that you have been using the afore mentioned contaption.  You know I think that explains a lot!

Dear Wsm9363,

I think I look better in the non-doctored photo...

For the record, I never called any furry Wombat a cheater ...... just pointing out inconsistencies ....... :-P

Gawd knows it ain't gonna help the Griffins out of the basement by pointing out the miscalculation!

Hey Daremo.....I've noticed that you have a keen eye for cheaters an spotting the metric system misuse..... With that being said.... Speedball (team captain for the Nanner Slugs) has just purchased a Segway (I saw the empty box in his trash) and now his run mileage & pace has suspiciously increased..... I asked myself 'What Would Daremo Do'???? (WWDD.... put that one on a bracelet) So just before dark last night I hid in the bushes right across the street from Speedball's home..... I got this picture

Update!!!

Miles to Kilometers / Kilometers to Miles ....Fooeeyy!!

I recalc'ed the Wombats and they are still in the lead...new percentage is 74.74%.  So standings remain as posted....BUT, the margin is a little slimmer.

Thanks for pointing this out.

The final results are in and the Fighting Pickles win by a nose! Congrats to the Pickles.  I think it was due to the tremendous leadership of the "Head Pickle" that they won; inspiring his troops to victory (That would be the soon-to-be-famous Eric Otte).

A couple of thoughts and thank-yous....

  • Good job to everyone for setting goals and working to reach them (even if you (me) didn't make it.  At least you gave it a go.)
  • Thanks to all the team leaders for inspiring your troops and helping with the weekly results.
  • 21 of 52 people completed their goals (40%). Way to go!
  • The attached spreadsheet has team and individual rankings if you'd like to see how you did against eveyone else.
  • For those who didn't make goals...life happens.  My goals were way to high for the time of year.  Chalk it up as a learning experience...I am. 
  • This was fun...and Slugs are the best - I think we won the post war :-)

I thinik the fightinh Pickles should have a 3% point penalty for blocking, or for having a hound dog... heck 3% for BOTH! 

So that means they finished at 86.57% and the Banana Slugs WIN!!!!

Seems there were a few people who didn't get their logs updated before monday.....ahem...someone on the Griffens team(!)  Probably would have put them in 3rd place instead of second to last.

He would be a cooked Griffin by my book :-)   But what can I say....my month's results weren't too pretty.

You know what they say about being average.  "Best of the worst and worst of the best."  Crud...I guess that's me in this case.
