Square Wheels Posted July 25, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2021 @Zephyr is challenging us to ride a cumulative 1,000 miles in one day. You can ride 5 miles, or 50 miles, all miles help us reach our goal. Indoor or outdoor miles count, sorry @Razors Edge. Please use the poll to select the day. The Poll close the last day of July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted July 25, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 25, 2021 If there isn't one day that works for people, could we pick a couple days and add the totals? Each person picks one day within a specified period as "their" day so there's no double counting. It could spread the fun as we see the total grow during the period. One day would be best, but schedules can be difficult. Just an idea if we can't find a day that works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted July 26, 2021 Popular Post Share #5 Posted July 26, 2021 I’ll be one week out of chemo on the 21st. Hopefully I won’t have any lingering side effects and can ride. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted July 26, 2021 Should we combine the dates and make it a 1,000-mile weekend instead? Fewer options, maybe a better chance of getting participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer options, maybe a better chance of getting participation. I would suggest we try for a 1,000 mile day to start, with the option for people to ride on Sunday 8/22 if they wish. That would make the 1,000 mile day a 'stretch' goal. If we don't make that but make the 1,000 mile weekend that still a good community effort. And it would still leave the 1,000 mile day goal out there to attempt again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry I thought we already picked the 21st??? I can do any of those days so I’ll pick the one with the most votes already but if happens to change to another day/weekend all good with me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted July 29, 2021 Share #14 Posted July 29, 2021 I can commit to ride any day my coach says I can commit to ride. (Don't mess with the coach. ) Nothing is up for August yet, however there will most likely be lots of riding on all of those days. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with 22nd as that will be a 100 mile day for me (assuming not an AM thunderstorm). I will likely have no more than 30 miles on the 21st (if I ride at all), but on the other weekends, 7/8, 14/15 and 28/29, I will surely ride one or both days, so 30-50 miles depending on what folks decide here.

I'm going to have to ask you to change your plans. I checked with the ride organizers. They said they would consider a date change if they receive - in writing and on official letterhead - a request from the SWCF Board of Directors with notarized signatures from the President, Secretary, and Treasurer as well as a fully refundable deposit of $5,000. I think we can swing this change if you really need it! Otherwise, I gotta think there are 20 folks here who can ride a measly 50 miles on your day in question.

Dottleshead ★ Posted August 1, 2021 Share #29 Posted August 1, 2021 What day do you need me? I have my titanium road bike working now and actually rode it the other day. But You'll be lucky to get 15 out of me on that. And since it's been all work for the last month, you'll be lucky to get 30 on my ebike. So what I'm saying is this -- I'm good for about 20 miles using all ebike or a combo. Just tell me when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
