Good Karma Contest IIII
I've received the DVD "Hell on Wheels" from Louis in the last “Good Karma Contest III” and is now time to pass it on. I now know how inadequate I am at riding.
The Question for this contest is “How far do I commute to work ?” according to My bike computer.
The karma will quite flowing (game over) on Thursday March 1, 2007, at 11:42 am. Mountain Standard Time.

I have considerable faith in my fellow 50+ bent rider. I think he commutes from the Denver suburbs up to Estes Park, right up (and later in the day, down) the canyons.
That would be 64.9 relaxing miles, each way.

If this is a trick question, and the answer is "Zero...I work at home!!!" I'm filing a lawsuit that would curdle Howard Hughes' blood!

Sorry, I just couldn't bring myself to jump right on it. I had to fudge a little off to one side.

, just that if it did turn out to be a trick question, my next move would be to call my attorney
, have his private investigator track down everyone who has every posted in Bike Forums
, and file suit against the whole lot of you!!!
My answer remains 11.42 miles, one way...

16.37 one way,
Hmm.. In a higher altitude does the mileage go up or down as compared to being at sea level?
