AUGUST MILES CHALLENGE!!!

Alright everybody, the AUGUST MILES CHALLENGE is underway!!!


First, a quick reminder of the rules, how to calculate bike miles, and how and when to post!

RULES: (they are slightly different this month)
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 CHECK-IN WILL BE MONDAY 8/8.

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

NOW FOR THE TEAMS!!!!
Newbie teams, choose a team captain and a team name (cannot use an existing team name). Captains, send me your team's name so I can log it for your team. Also, captains are responsible for keeping track of team miles and posting in this thread twice a week.

Roster for Team 1 Newbies

Team Name: The Amazing Quad

Maureensm (Captain)
Choirgirl37 (Backup Captain)
Coronalime
TopsKing2010

(lfred12 never reported, He was replaced with TopsKing2010)

We will have an update as far as miles on Monday. Our captain is away.

Also, does all of the fields in the cycling conversion spreedsheet seem locked to anyone else? I tried to use it, but all cells are locked.

Also, just to confirm, miles are calculated from Monday -Sunday, right?

sounds good i'll update my list with your new member.

the spreadsheet is a public doc thing (i didn't create it so i'm not sure how it works) but i think only one person at a time can use it. I downloaded it to my desktop to use. Or you can copy all the formulas into your own excel document if you want. let me know if you have more problems.

you keep track of your individual miles and coordinate with team/captain how members will report in to the captain. The team captain then posts every Monday and Thursday the teams totals to date using the format given in the original post. check out the posts tomorrow as other teams check in to get the idea and if you are still confused shoot me a message and I'll try to help you out.
