I'm known as Wildcat. After averaging 12 miles a day, I've been off the bike since December 5th. The weather in Chicago has been brutal. I'm also traveling on business 75% of the time again.

I need my riding time, I think 'm gaining weight, too .

Anyone noticing that the points are being a little wonky? It hasn't updated mine since a few days ago.
I was updating on a daily basis, but injury and then illness have kept me off the bike for close to 2 weeks now. As soon as I kick this cold/flu whatever it is, I will be back on the bike and updating.

I update after each ride I take. Unfortunately I've not been cycling on a regular basis anymore so I got only to 4th or 5th place in our team. At least I was able to help out during the first and last match

No, league is over, we won.

Playoff should only be necessary if there's a tie in the regular season.

Check the site Jeff, we are in playoffs, until Jan 4th with Civia...you have to go to the league page as it doesn't show up in your own listing and if you read the league platform it said top 2 teams in final playoff.

I don't see that either, JeffS. Wonder why.

Either way, we should join the Monthly Commuter's league next.

Wildcat is back!

After dropping out of sight in November, I'm riding again. Its been a long winter and I'm looking to ride 4000 miles this year.

I had better make up for lost time!

Anyone else restarting?

Michael

I have been hit and miss this winter. lots of work related travel keeping me off the bike. Now that I won't be traveling so much I am going to be back trying to break 5,000 miles this year. Almost broke it last year at 4,920. and 4,800 the year before that.

I've been riding all along but not as often, maybe 2-3 days a week and was out for 3 weeks with a back injury in January.
But once this weather becomes more consistently in the 30*F+ I'll be back up to 4-5 days plus week-ends.

I'm planning on taking the studs off the MTB April 1, and breaking out the hybrid May 1.

I keep forgetting to log in my miles. I've been riding steadily.
