OCTOBER MILES CHALLENGE!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the OCTOBER MILES CHALLENGE!!!
***Once again, there will be a slight change this month. Since we are getting a late start, everyone must come with their own team! I will not be assigning teams. Feel free to recruit within this thread or on your own. Teams must consist of FOUR members with one of those members serving as the captain.
****THE CHALLENGE WILL OFFICIALLY START SEPTEMBER 1ST****
AUGUST MILES PARTICIPANTS: You may keep your original teammates if you choose. If you're missing people start recruiting!
NEWBIES AND NEW TEAMS ARE WELCOME!
--Anyone interested in joining the challenge can recruit right here in the thread or on your own. You will need four people to complete a team.
--If you have an existing team, have your captain post your team name and it's members so I know who you are.
--I will post all team names and their members on Sunday, September 4 (probably first thing in the morning, or late in the evening....Eastern Standard Time, US) so we all know who's in and who's out.
--New teams must choose a captain and pick a team name. Existing teams take precedence so be original and try not to use the name of an already existing team. I will moderate as best I can.
RULES: (keeping the same as August)
1. Each team must elect a captain and choose a team name. You will coordinate with your captain how you will report your miles to them (message, email, private thread, etc).
2. TEAM CAPTAINS will post current mileage totals twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays.
3. Bike miles will only be accepted if you use the mileage calculation found here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWq8Ca1b4hfdDdOcTl5azVVNWxuRVNoNHdKc2FaSGc&hl=en_US&authkey=CP-sk6sF
4. HAVE FUN!!!!
Team Captains should post current miles to date on Mondays and Thursdays.
The first official post will be on Monday, September 5. This will give time for new teams to get acquainted and everyone to get in some miles etc.
We will be using THIS formula to give every person/team credit for their miles:
TEAM NAME
Miles as of <DATE>:
TEAMMATE 1 - 1 miles
TEAMMATE 2 - 2 miles
TEAMMATE 3 - 3 miles
TEAMMATE 4 - 4 miles
Total TEAM NAME miles - 10 Miles
Some things to keep in mind:
It's basically like every other challenge we've done so far except you're only keeping track of YOUR miles and adding them to YOUR TEAM.
It's just for fun so don't worry about "bringing your team down", this is all just encouragement to keep everyone moving their bodies!
If anyone has any questions/comments/concerns, feel free to send me a message and I'll respond as quickly as I can.

If are only have 3 for the month do not despair you may count the 3 and we will make an average for the 4th based on all individual totals so basically everyone will be handicapped the same amount. Email me if you have some concerns.
