NorCal BikeForums club..

[ifox]

... has been created at http://bikejournal.com

SoCal folks already have a club on that website, so I thought why shouldn't we. And I created one.
There are no yearly goals set right now, but it could be changed later (or, better, we set goals for 2008).

So, login to bikejournal (register if you haven't done it yet) and add NorCal BikeForums club to your profile ;)

I've belonged to bikejournal for ages, but it never occurred to me to set up a NoCal bf club - so thanks !

[msincredible]

[SesameCrunch]

Count me in too. I hope I have the discipline to enter the journal each time...

[backinthesaddle]

bikejournal is new to me, but apparently old stuff to many of you. could someone explain what it is and why I might want to use it?

[johnny99]

What can you do in this "club" that you can't already do in this forum?

nothing much, really. Just yet another place to see who is in NorCal (maybe easier place -- look at the members, instead of looking at the [quite long] "Let's get to know each other.." thread.)

I just thought it be cool to have online club over there, so I created it.

the main purpose of bikejournal is to log miles. you can either "just log 'em" or you can set yearly goal (for yourself) and track your progress. if you are training, it's a convenient online tool to track you weekly mileage.

[uspspro]

It's so you can look at everyone and say my 'mileage' is bigger than yours ;)

J/K!

I think it's a cool idea. Good job Ivan.

When, I'm done with my new build in a couple weeks, I will post a pic of it up there too.

Right now I'm uploading all my Garmin data to MotionBased, keeps a really nice ride history (permanent I hope). So I don't think I need another database. Am I unclear on the concept?

MotionBased is cool. bikejournal is just another place :)

Reg'd.

[ifox]

[hammern_frank]

Yes.

[BigSean]

How to you add rides/mileage to your total.
From the Journal, I "add ride" but I only get these options:
Ride Date: Ride Type: Bike: Club affiliation:

Am I not seeing it?

you have to be away from the club page, Henry. Go to the home page and there is a link up top in one of the drop down menus labeled Journal...

I just moved my miles into NorCal.

[SesameCrunch]

Wow! JoBob and Spingineer each have over 4,500 miles to date! You guys ever get off your bikes??!! http://deephousepage.com/smilies/clap.gif

Good job!

Aw, Alan, you're too kind, but I'm only up to about 4100 :o

I see Glenn (gw_12) joined the No Cal club. Now he's a maniac ! :D Over 4,800 miles, lots of which were going up crazysteep climbs like Welch Creek and Sierra Road.


Hey Glenn, do you post here?

Oops, sorry. I guess I was in a hurry. Still, 4,100 ain't bad!

[hammern_frank]

BINGO!

[cccorlew]

Wow. I'm signed on. I'm not at all sure what it all means or if I'll fine it at all cool, but I'm giving it a shot and uploading my miles as soon as I get a chance to check my records... if I can figure it out...

[BlastRadius]

Got it. You'd think it'd have some reasonable defaults :rolleyes:

[ifox]

now, does anybody know how to make this topic "sticky"?
I tried asking one of the moderators to do it, but didn't get any response :(

[dauphin]

ask jschen...he'll do it

[SesameCrunch]

Are you remembering to update your rides ?? :o:o:o

[sweetnsourbkr]

Missed this thread for some reason....:o Anyway, I'm in. Hope my miles can contribute to the club's total.

[outofshape]

signed on, thanks for the link!

[taxi777]

Just added the Mt Tam ride, see if we get anyone perusing that sight might join in.

[scottmorrison99]

Anyone else out there want to join in? It's free and it is an easy way to track your miles.

I'm in, thanks for the reminder.

I'm in :)

[spingineer]

Just added my mileage from today's Mt. Tam ride. Didn't quite get a century in, but it was still some good mileage.
