Compare miles

I had an idea today as I was riding to work.How about a thread for us to post daily/weekly how many miles we put on our bikes namely mountain bikes.I of course think I have everyone beat but still think its a great way to spark conversation and get people to ride more as motivation. ;D

It is free for basic, and 20 bucks for the full blown deal.

I checked my odometer yesterday.  Got my Rush in April, I think.  Then got the odometer.  967 since April.  Not including any road miles.  Guess I should start keeping track, eh?

That is great. It is very motivating. I have been using it for almost 4 years...each year I try to increase time on the bike, that of course results in miles.
 
year one 3167
year two 4803
year 3    5512
 
so far this year 5146
 
 
it is addictive.....the whole damned thing....

That is quite impressive. Not so much the mileage, but the ability/free time to accomplish said miles. I'm jealous.

I work for myself, out of the house, so I do have a lot of flexibility.

You will get some miles out of that one !

A 'good' ride is one that you can walk away. A'great' ride is one after which you can use the bike again.

Aw c'mon.  You left yourself wide open.  What's a girl to do??? ;)

I was just the first to the punch. 

And thanks for telling me all about BJ.  I'm gonna record my miles there now.

Does moving your bike around in the garage count?  If it does I have about 150 feet.  I would add it to BJ but I forgot my login
