Remember, only our top 5 Riders have their points counted towards the league matches, so the teams aren't that unbalanced. Sucks for the one dude, though.
We do need more teams...

Yeah I would say that this round is won. Doesn't mean we can't shoot for the most mileage possible, and the spot at the top of the team board (which I had before today)

I sent you an invite back in September. Unfortunately, the system won't allow me to send another since you are in a pending state. See if you can find the invitation or find it through the website. Thank you! PM me if you need me to try to do something else.

Glad I looked, just realized I had all my miles half what they should be, sometimes for being so smart I do dumb things. Didn't help the team any but now my numbers match my personal log that I keep.

I'm a team member at Greenlight, I'm known as Wildcat.
Yesterday I posted my ride. Today, the game appears to have restarted without any prior history.
Whats up!

Brian T, They've capped teams at 10 riders. We've been grandfathered in at 27, but we can't add anyone else. I can't even rescind invitations. Oh, well.

By the way, if you're on the team and have logged close to zero miles by the end of game 2, I'll be removing you

What’s the name of the team so I can track the leaders?

edit:
Nevermind, I found it. Bikeforumcommuters. Maybe we can do two teams next time.

LOL! We had two teams going for a while. I wish the website had said something about capping it at 10 riders before this week.

Just thought I'd bump this and let folks know we are 3-0 and as we are against the Ghost Team (kind of like a bye week) this round looks like it will be 4-0.
And as a team we have put in 5,065 miles since 9/25/08!!!

A report from "Wildcat;" I'm in Europe looking at snow! I hope to add to my miles on thanksgiving day.

So, who's still updating? Not many, I'm noticing, but that could be due to winter for you northern folk.
Anyone noticing that the points are being a little wonky? It hasn't updated mine since a few days ago.

I have tried to do mine pretty consistently...your #2 in the current game Tobias at 94 miles when I just checked.
But I'd have to agree the weather effects it a lot. I know I've gone from riding 4-5 days a week to 2-3 if I'm lucky.
