I checked this morning and we have only 5 people signed up. Tromans is signed up twice. Some teams already have 17 members.

You were not on the list this morning, so I am guessing their software has a bug.

Due to the generosity of a bike benefactor I will be riding a road bike instead of my MTB and put in a whopping 10 miles round trip per day.

I can seem to get the cut and paste to work on the link. Can someone please post it in a format that I only need to double click? I'm going to be up there with Jayhawk in the milage, 10/day, but they all count. Maybe I'll get the wife to do the grocery store and target trip on a bike with the bob trailer. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: <(you gotta know my wife to get the joke)

I also think this thread should be in group rides section. Some people avoid this area of the forum. Others don't but should.

Thanks. I'm signed up, but I think there may be a flaw in their system since I am now in there twice. I'm guessing they will get it straigtened out before long, I'm also guessing this is done by voluteers, so I'm not bagging on them, just pointing it out. I hate it when people bag on volunteers. Good thing nobody around here does that.

Is this the official POST?
My ER president said there would be news soon in the last email and I see nothing.
I'm in, I guess that means I should sign up...

How can we already have 67 team miles? Do we get bonus miles right off the bat because we're mountain bikers? I mean, that totally makes sense to me, but I'm still curious.

You can log miles now, but it will be re-set when the compitition starts.
