Just found this site run by the government that allows you to track miles run/walked/ridden and translates it to a virtual journey across the country! How cool is that?

You can even select a partner or create a team!

I created one for us--it's called MFP. Come on and join and let's see how far we can all travel!

Search for the group MFP and join!

    Do you have to register before you can search for the team?

    Looks like since I'm the one who created the "MFP TEAM" that I have to invite others to join it. :ohwell:

    so, if you do sign up for this--AND IT'S FREE!--then let me know your user name and I will search for and add you.

    er, um...
    "Your private login ID is:
    cllg52933"

    See if you can find me by that?? If not, I'll pm you my first and last name to search up.

    I need your name--what you put in for your first and last name when you signed up. I didn't use my real name for it by the way but went by my MFP name, so you can go into the site, go to settings, and then change your name fields to reflect whatever you want, and then let me know what that is. I have to search by the name used not log-in ID.

    Sorry!

    ARGHH-- I don't see either of you on there, so i can't add. Not sure why not?? But you can still join by yourselves and track. It's still cool.

    OK! I've got everybody added except for Lauryn now. For some reason, it still keeps coming up as not found.

    Anyway, you can click on showing your exercise log, then select "show my teams" and it will show you how far we've gone as a team!

    You can also just select to see how far you've gone by yourself.

    I started with my bike miles for today-I was going to add in all I've gone since June but decided to start fresh today with everyone else.

    Oh, and it starts in Yorktown, VA as that is the first milepost for the TransAmerica path (I guess).

    help! I can get to the page, but I can't find the "show my teams" spot!

    Should be on the "Exercise Log" page, scroll down and look under "My Progress Detail". There's a little select circle that shows up on mine.

    :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

    Ok, I've got y'all listed and it shows up under teams but then the mileage doesn't accumlate.....

    looks like the page has some problems....

    so.....

    at least track your own progress using it. I'm in Jamestown, VA. right now based on just using today's totals.

    still not showing up. Looks like the Team thing isn't going to work as it appears the site does have "issues"--but it tracks me individually just fine. So everyone try using it on your own I guess. :cry:

    Yeah that site has problems, other than setting up teams, the site isn't user friendly and it is slow. Toooooooo dang bad I thought it was a great idea for us MFPers to be a team. Oh well maybe the website will get fixed. Thanks for the help though.

    I don't have a problem with it except for the team part. The rest works great. I went in and added all my bike miles from June and July, which got me to close to Berea, KY!
