[smudge ★]

A skimpy 24.85. hopefully it's the 0.85 needed to get us over the top!

[Ralphie ★]

150.85 from you guys already if my mathing is correct - yay!  Nice work so far, peeps!

Oops!  I broked the rules. Sorry. Cheering should go in t’other thread. 

[Wilbur ★]

58.6.

Just shy of the 60 I promised but a call with the boss awaits.   

[petitepedal ★]

12 miles on 2 different  E bikes..even went down and rolled..nothing g injured but my pride.

So there were 7 of us...you can call it 12 or 84 

[maddmaxx ★]

25.2 miles.  I helped bring Smudge up to even miles.  12.1 out on the trail and 13.1 back on the road mostly downhill from the end of the trail.

[Wilbur ★]

I did ride with 4 friends though.  Maybe I should try to get them to join the forum?   

[groupw]

50.3 on the road bike plus 30 minutes of strength and cardio installing the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tire before the ride!

[Further]

15.57

My legs might have a few more miles them but my neck had called it quits

[JerrySTL ★]

Only 27 x 2 miles if we are counting WoJSTL. We had planned on 40 miles however got a flat on the rear tire. Couldn't find what caused the flat as inflating the tube didn't show anything as the Slime in it decided to start working. Actually it might be the rim tape as it had moved and the centrifugal force would keep the Slime away from the rim tape side. Anyway with no spare tube and only one CO2 cartridge left, we figured heading directly back to the start was a good idea. 8/21/2021.

[Ralphie ★]

21.16. My feet called it. Everyone else was still up for more.  The neck and butt were next though. Perfect weather!

[Palesaint]

Even the lurker road some miles to help out the cause! 19.8 rode on 8/21/2021

[TrentonMakes]

Another 13.8 today.

[Dottleshead ★]

I have a choice of going out and riding right now or going down to Skagit county and buying $300 speakers for my car.  Sorry @Zephyr but your challenge may get missed.  I'll see how I feel when I return and see how much daylight is left.

[SpeedDemon]

53.7 miles.  

[Bikeguy]

21.2 miles out on the roads.

[goldendesign]

14 miles, two circuits of the neighborhood this morning but forgot the garmin. 

[Square Wheels]

@Thaddeus Kosciuszko 65.3

[Scrapr ★]

43.39 on Sat the 21th.  Woke up @6:30 am & shit!....it's raining. My miles were in jeopardy. Hung around, walked the dogs, got a bagel & coffee & watched the roads dry up. So kitted up like it was February & went out. (it was 60  degrees!!!) I put a loop on the end of my nermal mileage & thought I would get >45. It's a good thing cause I was struggling the last few miles/hills. 3 energy gels (Salted Carmel by the Sea)

Do we have to wait up all night for the Hawaii results?

[MickinMD ★]

4.07 miles - sorry!

This was my first ride of more than 100 yards in almost 2 years.

Being in good enough shape to walk Jake for an hour with no soreness is NOT good enough to ride for an hour when you haven't been cycling for almost 2 years.

My heart rate, which I try to keep under 144 bpm - my max is 166, was often running over 150 on a fairly flat course, so at 2 miles I turned around.

I didn't know how to start the timer (forgot there were two buttons on the bottom) on my Garmin Edge 530 (big downgrade from touchscreen 510). So I had stored past rides from my 510, called one up, and it let me start the timer.  I promptly fell down as I apparently had the front/rear gears set very goofy and the chain came off.  I got the chain back on and began my ride at 7 minutes - didn't want to try to restart it.  Stopped a lot due to heart rate at benches and took it easy 10 mph max, 7 mph a lot.  I took an hour to get in 4 miles!

Next time better as I get in shape and learn the bike!

20.5 miles south of your border.  

[Kirby]

A file mile walk with Not Wild Sister.  Walking miles may not count, but we were with you in spirit!

If that's 33.00 to 33.04 km, it's 20.51 miles, rounded

If it's 33 km rounded, then it's scientifically 21 miles because there are only 2 significant figures in 33 and the conversion must be rounded to 2 significant figures: just over 20.5 miles rounds to 21.  Note, by the way that scientifically 20.5 without any other info, round to 20, not 21 because science rounds the exact "5" to the nearest even number.  That avoids like 1.5 + 2.5 rounds to 2 + 3 and instead, it's scientifically rounded to 2 + 2.

But, since 33 km is just a little more than 20.5, it rounds to 21 and does NOT round to 20.5 if 33 is a rounded number.

Just trying to help the cause by half a mile here!

I work with numbers and other jargon all day. I am in no mood to contest or extrapolate what you just said. I'll accept it as the de facto standard of this group. Also, your Raven's are pretty good.

So... yeah  21 miles. 

[Dottleshead ★]

Please wait for my number. I'm about 15 minutes out and then be to calculate my rotations by car. I'm guessing close to 30+.

No. And Cateye needs a new battery. Also, life sucks (air).

[Road Runner]

Rained most of the day here, so I rode indoors.  Two rides totaling 32 miles.  Hope indoors counts.

You're dedicated.

We might actually be super close to 1,000

[Road Runner]

I just counted 874 total (rounding off each ride to the nearest mile).

[UglyBob]

I'm glad I did. I drove to the far corner of the grid at 14.5 miles. You'd think I would be at 29, right!? Somehow I lost 2.7 miles. Need to look at a map. Probably a disfigured square. I'm effing tired though. I did my best. First 16 miles were easy. Last ten? A white hot mess. I am now harboring false resentments towards you folks.
