Depends on which part of my life decides to fall apart this year! I'm in for a solid 2 rides, including wrap-up

ride bike to get dw parts.
ride bike to get "supplies"

no min time to qualify a ride this year. so if i practice the unicycle in the driveway for 30 minutes per night....

No min time? That's lame. If I was running this I would run it with iron fist: 59 min, 59 sec ride? No points. No strava/garmin connect? No points. Garmin/phone/whatever dies during ride and recorded time is less than 60 min? No points. Any complaints? Out!

that's why you aren't running it.

hell, i'm ready to include trainer rides - since the structure they bring gets more people working-out, which means more people at short-track displaying their new power curve.
i'd even count running - but not swimming. nfw.

In

Just got the 'amber light' from a sports cardiologist that my redline is 130 BPM not 100 BPM so I might be able to get a few outdoor rides in.

stay away from tunnele circle at night in the freezing rain!

other than that - this makes me smile.

Stop posting while drinking. Trainer don't count. Running ain't MTB. MTFU

God, you would count strenuous chess next.

@rick81721 may have to run it.

I think most "cyclists" don't want to mix up running or other activities/sports in this thing. That's OK.

If the main idea of this contest is to promote riding, and specifically build a base during the winter so we start as best as we can the next season, riding a bike on a trainer should count. Riding on a trainer is still pedaling a bike, and is usually hard riding too. If the idea of this contest is to see who's the most macho and gets outside more in the coldest/shittiest days, etc., then don't focus on the hours pedaling and structure the points to reward those things.
