say what!!!!
but in order to pull out the victory I planned to ride 21 straight mountain bike centuries, in the snow, at night through 7 different parks.
now, I've been denied the dream.

updated. congrats again. i'm with mike - you did a seriously impressive amount of riding already!
haha - updated. i still gotta figure out what to do with this beer. jim doesn't drink, and you don't drink. i'll have no problem cracking it myself
... but i really should pass it to the first drinker on the list, unless you guys want it. it's a killer beer, but not for the non-beer drinker.
2 for the ride and time, 1 for work, and 2 for the precip. updated.

My last ride of the race. One hour. 1/2 on dirt, 1/2 on road. add rain and park bonus (?)
Found little park in Kendal park that had a few trails that looked like they had not been ridden in years. But there was a little sandy spot with some jump possibilities. It was fun. Dont worry, we took it easy to make sure no damage was done. Place was small and we took it easy, then hubby took me on a road tour since he grew up in that area.
Thanks Dave for the online race and keeping it all up to date. It was fun and did help to motivate me.

damnit, i thought yesterday was the last day things counted. i could have killed me some points today and hit a 100.
Last update- So long and thanks for all the fish
First off, thanks Dave for running this fiasco-
It's been fun.
If I see you on the trails, post-ride beers are on me.
This has been a motivator for me-
Logged about 700 miles for the past 2 months, after sitting out December on IR (stitches- thank you RW).
I've dropped about 10 lbs, my wife says I look younger, I was in good shape to enjoy vacation, and I can dunk a basketball*
So my last additions are:
Last night- a quick 2 hours before dinner
All dark, all wet.
6 points
And today:
Ride in
1-ride
1-2nd hour
1-dark
2-rain
1-work
Ride home
1- ride
2- hours 2&3
2- 2 units of dark
2-50-mile bonus
2- precip? I had about 30 minutes of on/off rain when I started out. I'll leave that to the judges.
So that's 19 or 21 depending on the ruling.
(*on an 8' rim- but then again, I pretty much always could).

Contest wrap up
Thanks Dave.
The real work is just beginning now; but let's see if this is enough so far to start murdering fools.
The little 2 week interruption put a dent, but not too bad.
