I will say that SHW and I are going to have completely separate mileage profiles due to our respective fitness levels (she did have a baby a few months ago). So it might not make sense to pick couples. I don't mind having my wife on the other team as long as it's not a one-on-one battle. Smack around the bedroom is fine anyway.

Thus no linkage for you. SOunds perfect.

Have fun regardless of which team you are on and accrue miles for charity. That is going to be my plan, anyway.

i'm in, and because i know both of the team captains, i expect to be a very high draft pick.

What did I miss, what is everyone signing up for?

Is there a post with the guidelines/rules/donation requirements for this challenge? I think I'm missing something.

It's kind of like health care reform. You just sign up for it and the details will be revealed later.

Ok. I'll wait for someone to post in the Town Hall forum so I can protest.

I keep putting this off, but Bellavela and I are in. When the weather gets too chilly or the days too dark, we'll be riding the trainer, though. Have any mileage-equivalents been decided on? I'd suggest 18-20 miles per hour ridden, depending on the workout. Maybe we just estimate our own, based on effort?

I always thought trainers had some sort of mileage gauge or something on them. Is that not the case?

(I am NOT arguing to exclude trainer mileage, btw - just curious.)

What if you had a garmin 305, for example, and set it up with the cadence doo-hickey. Can you put that on the back wheel?

(I ask because, at some point, I'm probably going to be getting a bike and trainer. Again, I'm all for including trainer mileage in whatever way everybody thinks best).

If you know your heart rate on an outside ride, then you can estimate mileage with your HR monitor. Also, if you have HR data from a recent run, then you can use my spreadsheet to figure out how many calories you burned on your trainer and back into it that way.

Yes. The Garmin 305 cadence device also measures distance and speed while on a trainer. It uses a magnet attached to a rear spoke. You enter the wheel size as one of the settings.

I used it this way most of last winter.
