The Race continues

For all those paying attention, or if any even care. Here is the latest update on the goofy race.

Totals as of Feb 16. 2012 at 7:30 CST -

Dad 692 miles

Me 270, multiplied by three (see rules) thus 810

So now for the year, I have a 525 mile lead. But don't forget, in March the mile multiplication rate drops to 2.5. But March is the snowiest month in MN so it will remain a tough competition for the month as Virginia Beach is warming up.

January Race Totals

So January is in the books, the first month is over in the goofy race that no one call really understand. Well at least understand how we came up with the rules and points.

First, points

Dad - 900
Me - 500

Miles

Dad 1150
Me 519 which are multiplied by 3 in January, thus the grand total of 1557.

One might ask, How do you ride so many miles in MN in January?

Dr. Seuss would reply -
You ride in the dark, you ride in a park
You ride at night, you ride with a light...

But seriously, the weather was rather balmy by MN standards for the winter. We have some walking/bicycling paths that are kept plowed in town. They are about 300 feet from our house. The lakes are good for riding, if you have studded tires. (which I do) And yes, you do need some lights to ride after supper in the winter.

How will February turn out? Stay tuned....
