Janice,
Well, I wanted to ride at the Silver Comet. I do ride in the rain but if I haven't ridden in three days and I just can't wait any longer. I'll try again soon... : )

Natalia, I wondered if you'd go in the rain. :( I did, but it was only 17 easy miles, and very light rain.
You'll get it next time! Where are you riding?
It rained so we cancelled it : (
Go Natalia! You can do it!
I will attempt to ride a century tomorrow, wish me luck! I should go to bed soon. Happy Labor Day weekend guys!
Critical Mass ride is this Friday!!!
Natalie, thanks! You're doing AMAZING riding! :)
Janice, I hope so : ) Keep kicking some butt, you are doing great, and you inspire me.
Natalia, I'm having a little problem with running out of energy too. Maybe as the days get cooler it will be a little easier?
Keep up the good work Natalia. It will be well worth it.
I'm exhausted... One week and one month to go...

Alan, we had two GA winners!
Hey, we got our first prize winner in GA!!!
Decatur Bikes is now doing a weekly Saturday morning ride to Stone Mountain at 8am. Early birds join in - it leaves from CVS parking lot across from the store on Ponce in downtown Decatur. I plan on being there this week. No drop ride...all levels welcome. Don';t worry, I will be the one at the back of the pack :)
Well, GA only has 274 riders who qualify for a prize. WI has 3,398.
That probably explains it.

Ok, Atlanta, last week is upon us. Let's finish strong and not let Isaac scare us.
Chris J Corrow, the challenge last until the end of the month (it started in May), hence why we're having a happy hour tonight and next Tuesday :)
I've heard rumors there's going to be another challenge in October - just one month long, just in ATL, organized by the Clean Air Campaign... rest up in September, then right back to it!
TONIGHT AND NEXT TUESDAY: Hey Atlanta national bike challengers, a couple of us from teams MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, Oranje, Peachtree Tri Club, possibly even Bike Commuters of Atlanta, S.L.O.W., Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, Women Bike Atlanta and others, will be meeting up for a special NBC happy hour at Elliott Street Pub in Castleberry Hill tonight and next Tuesday. There's a $2 beer on tap for anyone arriving on two wheels, and delicious sandwiches. Hope to see you there! I'll be there around 5pm, staying till about 7pm, others might be arriving and staying longer.
@Chris I just drove my commute to work, validated the mileage compared to Endomondo and Garmin. Garmin was nearly dead on the money. I am not sure if placement of the phone is a cause. If you trail ride any part of your route, I would probably find a stretch of road that I can drive, making it at least 10 miles, then try the different apps. Phone reception does play a part since most phones use assisted GPS.
Fixed my flat and took it out for a shakedown ride. Don't know what I ran over yesterday but it took a big chunk out of my rear tire. Luckily I had a spare one in the garage. Ready for tomorrow's commute!
Good: the clunk, clunk, clunk my bike suddenly developed was just a loose bottom bracket and the guys at the shop fixed me right up.
Bad: Got a flat rear tire on the ride home from the shop. LOL it's always something!
Scott, my cyclemeter app is always different from endomondo? I haven't tried to verify with any other device? Any pointers?
How long is this challenge? Michael, you should introduce everyone, let's see if we can get all members peddling next go round!
You know you are a cyclist when... within the first half-minute of seeing the first image from Mars rover Curiosity... you wonder what the terrain would sound like under your bike tires.
I wish I could find somebody who could build me a commuting wheel that would last more than 6 months.
Had a bad wreck in Portlandia a few weeks back, once this concussion wears off I will be back in the saddle.
Last month! Let's make it a big one!!
Thanks Bobby, think I will stick with the Garmin. At least I can upload the data.
@Scott. Endomondo seems to register average speed as distance/time. Garmin probably figures average moving speed.
So the Endomondo app shows my mileage at just over 8 this morning and my speed around 11.5mph. However, Garmin says nearly 12 miles at 16.6mph.
Cool, I never noticed this before: when you save your ride in Endomondo it also tracks what the weather was when you did the ride, with the temperature, an icon and the wind speed.
Check out the app SeeClickFix for reporting potholes and road hazards:

Back on the road! Thanks to Alpha Bikes for the timely routine maintenance!
I have a question. I have 368 points, but when I look at the leaderboard, it says I don't have any points. What's happening?
Stay safe Janice!.
Carol, It was in Duluth, on a street I ride on regularly.
That is awful Janice, I am glad you didn't get hurt. Where was this?.
Today was the first day I've ever had anything thrown at me from a vehicle. Some moron in an over-compensating pickup truck threw some kind of small sauce container (with sauce -- something mayonnaise/mustard-y, I think) at me. It hit the top tube of my bike and splattered. :(
At least it wasn't a Big Gulp or something like that . Knock wood.
Ok, order has been restored. Only one ride not accounted for so we are good again.
Grrr, Garmin lost its mind and my rides.
I love riding in the rain; it's invigorating. It's that nasty lightning that causes the problem. That's why I keep my weather app next to my endomondo app.
I was soaked yesterday but, it wasn't the rain. I haven't sweated that bad in a long time. Could have used the rain earlier. ;-)
I for one love a good soaking in the afternoons. I guess I got lucky yesterday, I got soaked by rain but got home before any of the nasty lightning started up. It was windy but not too bad.
Looks like more rain the rest of the week. We really do need it but not the high winds, big boomers and the like. But, the ride goes on.
Thanks Megan!
@Scott- this might not be anything you haven't already heard, but you've gotta make sure you clean and then scratch up the surface of your tube really well before applying the adhesive and patch. Also, give it a few minutes to kind of cure before you start to inflate your tube, and then re-inflate without your tire and test for any other holes and/or leaks before you put it back in your tire. Also, make sure you remove the offending sharp thing from your tire or you'll just pop it again. ...hopefully that is helpful.
No help for you Scott. I have never even attempted a tube patch; I always just put in a new tube.
Well, back to the drawing board. Any good recommendations on tube patches and maybe even using one better. The last two I have attempted were failures. Upside, though, I am faster at changing a tube.
Tour de Fat was Awesome!
A big shoutout to my team mates on Maximum Performance in the Get Up & Ride National Bike Challenge - Tim Ho and Elliot Quan, both of who I meet today at the Tour de Fat - Atlanta. Damn it was a hot one out there but I had a great time...
Whew! The morning started out good but it got hot quick. Saw a few that really struggled to finish their respected routes in the Cartersville Century. My group was near 50 miles finishing around 11:30. 104 degrees on the Garmin.
Mark, I tried to email you, but I'm not sure I have the right email address. Did you get the email?
Commuting intervals: (ride 10 miles, work X hours, ride 15 miles, rest=sleep) repeat X5.
2 fastest bike commutes of the year on the 2 hottest days of the year! 16.6 and 16.5 mph avg. last night and tonight! I'm almost back! Thanks to the bike challenge for encouraging me to ride more!
Anyone know of any teams in Smyrna?
Scott, you were right. Yesterday was awesome but I needed the break and logistically I just couldn't make it happen. It was almost chilly at 6 this morning. Ironic! We are almost half way there.
Don't forget the Tour de Fat is this Saturday at the Historic Fourth Ward Park. It's going to be a ton of fun, and beer sales support ABC and SOPO. There's also still time to trade in your car for a sweet new bike (up to $2250 value). Go to the Tour website at right for more details.
@michael d white, today is probably the best day weather wise to be out on the road, too! Temps headed up tomorrow and on into the weekend. 100+ here we come!
2 other bikes at the bike rack at work this morning; a new record. Woot!
I'm taking a rest day. Back at the heat tomorrow.
I added a friend, and it looks like we have 3 vacancies still on the team.
Log all the miles that you bike, no matter where your bike takes you. Ride On!
Guys, I hope to contribute many, many miles. Do you know if we only log commute miles or can we add additional miles? I ride bike most places I go, so I would like to add them if they count.
Sucks riding to work in the rain, but it's awesome riding home in the rain! Especially on hot days!
Oh yeah ... it's summer! :)
I just joined. I'll do what I can do to help
I hate flats! But having stuff stolen is far worse. That is not cool at all.
Ugh, Todd, that sucks!
just walked almost 4 miles home from work with flat tire, just had my frame pump and head light stolen! WTF!
tran"SPORT"ation
"ride lots" - E. M.
John...all is good - enjoy the weekend.
All - If it is sport related, then I try to log it as such. As I did the Friday before the IM and the IM event itself. None of my entries for training are listed as transport, they are listed as Sport. And there was very little training for this IM and my speeds on the course reflected that lack of training (only 16.6 mph when my normal Tri speeds are closer to 18.6 mph) As far as the sudden increase for Bike Roswell, I knew it was the BRAG ride and I see nothing wrong with it. I would have done the same. Hope that clears the air in regards to my logs.
Scott, I'm with you! I rode 100K this morning and I'm too tired to fight with anybody. :)
Eliot...like you, I was 28....28 years ago and focused on what was just in front of me, rather than what was around me. The overview on BRAG was how Bike Roswell supported over 1,000 riders coming thru the city. That's ok - when you find time to support your community, you will have the right to BRAG.
Yay, bikes! Git it, all y'all!
Are we actually BRAGging about BRAG? I didn't know that was a thing people did. I was under the impression we were Bike Riding Around Georgia, and not being Bickering, Raucous, Adolescent Georgians.
As one of my co-workers likes to say "Why can't we all just get along?" It is all about the ride! I know I love both, the sport and the commute.
guys & gals. Let's loosen up the spandex some. At the end of the day, we are all cyclist and that's grand, right? Utilitarian, recreational, or what have you...we all enjoy life on the bike :)
Mathilde - appreciate the reach out so allow me to clarify questions, some of which are noted in the overview of the National Bike Challenge. When logging Transport or Commute miles - they actually count for more miles than sport. As for "why" Bike Roswell jumped in points - did you know that most all our riders are on the Board of Bike Roswell and it was our effort to support BRAG coming into Roswell. We are an advocacy group which support the Mayors Ride, BRAG and the Hospitality Hwy 400 ride, as well as, our efforts helped with the 3' law in GA. Soooo, why the jump in points - many of our riders, including the Mayor of Roswell rode BRAG. And 4 of our riders rode the entire ride which equals LOTS of miles. I questioned your rider logging IM miles that should be considered sport and you questioned a group of men & women who are committed to the Community & State to help improve cycling, which you benefit from That's ok if you feel bad....you can buy us a beer when the results are over!
I think it makes perfect sense to reward people for commuting via bicycle, since the idea is to use less gasoline. It is very different (both environmentally and economically) to ride your bike to and from all of your regular destinations than it is to put your bike on a car, drive it to a race or a trail, and then ride that same number of miles. I have done both, and both are commendable, but I absolutely love the extra reward for commuting! :)
Steve - we at Maximum Performance are noting most of our miles as transport because most of us are bike commuters or use our bikes to get around places - our stats are showing tons of $$ saved and CO2 offset! :) Not sure how John logged his triathlon miles, but if he didn't log them as sports cyclying, I'm sure he can change it to that if he feels like he wants his data 100% accruate. Either way, I'm almost positive it makes no difference whether you log transport or sport miles, they add up the same. Now, as to your question about why we were in 1st place despite having less miles that you guys, that's because the challenge awards 20 points per day ridden, but only 1 point per mile ridden. Since, like I said, a lof of us in Team Maximum Performance are bike commuters, we bike frequently throughout the week, reaping the frequency rewards :). Now, if we're gonna talk about rigging, then I have a question for you - how did Bike Roswell shoot 1600 or so points in just 48 or so hours, hmm? :-P
Todd - I think ABC is still looking for volunteers - like, 40 or so!! Spread the word: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3563056197/efbnen
My legs are sore.
I hope there will be a good turn out for the New Belgium Tour de Fat on the 30th!
I am all for a coke after a hard ride - yet find it odd that Bike Roswell has ridden over 2,000 more miles that Maximum Performance (who is noting all their miles as transport) and we sit in 2nd place. This outcome will be exactly the recent Bradley / Pacquiao fight....rigged!!!!
I think IM training is tranporting your but over many miles to get to that store for the coke or bag of pretzels you set out to get!
Hey John - I noticed Maximum Performance is logging most all its miles under Transport (90%). Just wondering how IM training (sport) is noted as Transport?
@Eric, I know the feeling about being yelled at. For me, it is usually the moms in mini-vans or SUV's. Welll, anyway, it feels good to be back on the road.
Nice and easy 10.7 mile ride this morning before starting work from home. Tomorrow I will be logging in 56 miles as I am doing a half-iron triathlon.
Hey Eric, used to have the same problem. A fellow rider told me to use talc (baby powder) on the tube before placing in the tire. did the trick for me.
Ugh. Started the day with a flat tire. I never seem to get puncture or pinch flats. Always seems to be a problem with the valve stem; either the stem itself or a break where the stem meets the tube.
Had the first experience of a motorist yelling at me to "get on the sidewalk" today. As I was riding on a designated bike route, on a wide shoulder, just past a "Share the Road" sign.
But what really amazed me was that they weren't driving a pickup truck. I don't know why but that's usually the folks that yell at me.
I just gave them a big smile and a friendly wave. I bet that really pissed them off LOL
Ride faster for more "windchill" effect.
i can't imagine it being too hot to ride. built-in breeze hello!!
The heat doesn't bother me. I ride to work where I stand in a hot kitchen for 9-12 hrs then ride home. My ride is the coolest part of the day!
Damn - Had a great ride into Atlanta this morning, but the afternoon ride, due to heat took a lot out of me. But it is good training for a ti I have next week in Macon, GA
I'm with you Eric. Bring on the summer. I'm out the door in 30 min.
I'll take the hot over the cold any day!
So today I was asked "How hot is too hot to ride?". Really?
I ask you: could we have had better biking days for work or play? It's gorgeous out there (he says as he looks out his office window)!
Sprinkles aren't too bad. I saw a guy last night headed down Old Alabama. Sad part is I also saw lightning ahead. Hope he was close to home. I don't mind rain but, I don't care for lightning.
Thanks Scott! It worked. Had a few sprinkles the last mile or so but I basically beat it. :)
Rain in the last mile.
@Eric, made it with no rain! I will keep willing it for you.
@Scott, I am willing the rain to stay to the north! LOL
Looks like a wet ride home today. Good thing the towels are clean and dry! Ride on!
Wet bike lanes = flat tire
Today is a perfect day for National Bike to Work Day! I am thinking that the bike ride home is going to be a long one.
ARGH!!! - iPhone was not charged last night so the phone/app dies about 20 minutes into my bike commute and the flip camera only recorded 13 minutes of the ride.. But It was a great 11 mile commute this morning on National Bike to Work day!!
I can't find the upload from Garmin button! Been there before but t's gone. Can someone post the steps to locate the upload from portable device. When I hit the Log Miles icon it opens up to manual load option. I think I'm going insane!
Doug...."animal magnetism!" I thought it was more of "the squirrels are nuts for biking, the dog is hounded by cyclists, and the rabbit was a hare short of dying!"
Must have been the day for striking animals. I had a rabbit try to run under my bike yesterday. It was so quick that it ran next to me for a couple of paces, then turned into my front spokes. It reacted to hitting the spokes by hopping up where it landed on the top of my foot (at the top of the pedal stroke). it rode my foot back down to the ground, (like a ferris wheel) slipped off my foot then ran back into the woods unhurt. we were both a little stunned but ok. 1 dog, 2 squirrels and a rabbit--I guess I have animal magnetism.
Snapped a rear dérailleur cable tonight. Stuck in the small cog. 53x13 or 39x13. Ouch. I'll be on my son's bike tomorrow.
I haven't seen many riders here in smyrna. I'm sure all the road construction has something to do with it. Where are all the smyrna commuters?
Saturday I did the longest recorded ride since returning to cycling four years ago. I won't say it was a cake walk but, it was still a great ride. Looking forward to pushing further.
Ok, completed my first day of riding with the rain. Something I had avoided in the past. Not sure its a great move but It was interesting to say the least.
Couldn't agree more, Scott! :)
It is time to amp up the rides. Loving my commute!
Decided to actually track my commute into work and what I thought was a 6 mile one way bike ride turns out to be a 7.49 mile bike ride one way. Sweet! Adjusted my commute miles for the week to reflect the update..
did a nice ride from my home in the westside to downtown, east on edgewood, north to the O4W park, back to midtown, then finally crossed 17th over to Atlantic station
Jessica - what days did you ride? It only counts the ones from May 1
Anyone know why if I rode 3 days, 10 miles each day it still says I only have 30 points? Should I not have 90 points instead?
Nothing better than life on a bike. Riding to work is the perfect start to my day. it's hard to be cranky in the morning after riding. :-)
Alright!! Riding for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE !!
Ah! If only I weren't an at-home consultant now! darn. Still bike it around town. See you Saturday for the Beltline!
I need to get my bike fixed!!
I started riding a bicycle again, in March 2011, after not being able to for different reasons (one was health related) since October 1997. Some of my fondest memories growing up in a small town in Florida (New Port Richey) onto my years in college in the early/mid 1980's were on a bicycle. So, I'm glad I got back on. I want to thank in this last year, from the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, Jett Marks (my Bike Buddy last year), and the other volunteers and staff (especially Rebecca Serna Woiderski and Drue Hocker) this last year.
