One of the themes that comes out loud and clear in the "what did you learn this year" thread is that we love to ride and generally wish we rode more. From what I can tell, there are about 250 active posters and maybe a total of 400 to 500 active members. Let's go with 250. If each of those 250 people rode just 4000 miles this year, that's a million FJRforum miles in 2008. Seems easy enough. So here's the challenge . . .
So that's my idea. Ride some miles, post to this thread. Simple.
Note: Many of you have expressed an interest in getting to the spreadsheet I use to log the miles. Unfortunately, the way it works is that I need to invite you, so PM me with a valid email and I'll send it to you.

- Whenever you ride, just post your miles to this thread. Make it interesting for the rest of us and maybe provide a detail or two. Or a lot. There are no rules other than we get out there and ride and make a shared record of it. Commuting counts.
- You can post any time for any increment of time. So you can report that you commuted 128 miles this week, or tell us about a cool ride you did over hill and dale.
- Consider dedicating your riding year to someone or something. We have a member who found riding on the backside of nasty bout with cancer. Some of us think about forum members no long with us. Or family members no longer with us. It could just be that you dedicate your riding to you.
- Anyone can run a tally at any time. If nobody does, I will from time to time. At some point, we'll hit a million fjrforum miles. We do it every year as it is, we just don't notice as a group. Now we can. It will just be one of those silly things a group of people decide to do. And sometime in late summer or early fall, there it will be. One million miles.
So that's my idea. Ride some miles, post to this thread. Simple.
