[Rec_bike] FCCC Starts Tuesday

[Arne Freyberger]

The Fall Cycling Commute Chalenge (FCCC) starts Tuesday.   I have five 
confirmed participants, myself, Mat Wright, Chris Slominski, Dave 
Douglas and Joe Grames.     There will be several ways to be declared a 
"winner".

 1. Just ride your bike!!!  Everyone who rides a bike is a winner!!
    (see:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/31/world/asia/a-maker-of-bikes-now-makes-a-point-of-riding-them.html?_r=0
    for inspiration!)
 2. Sun Worshiper Consistency:   Bike Commute the most (scheduled) days
    between Labor Day and Daylight Savings Time
 3. Sun Worshiper Miles:  Bike Commute the most miles between Labor Day
    and Day Savings Time
 4. Vampire Consistency: Bike Commute the most (scheduled) days between
    Labor Day and the Winters Solstice
 5. Vampire Miles: Bike Commute the most miles between Labor Day and the
    Winters Solstice

I am thinking about getting a web page up and running, hopefully this 
will happen by the end of the week.   The idea is that charts and other 
information from the shared google spreadsheet will be uploaded every 
weekend onto the web page for all to monitor our progress.    As well as 
other information about commuting to JLAB by bicycle.  Information on 
what to do with the shared spreadsheet will be forthcoming, as well a 
some rules of engagement.

It is not too late to enter the fray, just send me your google email 
address and I'll update the spreadsheet and share it with you.

Prizes:
Do not know yet.  Unfortunately this is not a sponsored JAG or JLAB 
activity so the prizes will have to be ad-hoc.   Maybe just bragging 
rights and war stories.    Maybe we could get a betting pool  going with 
a percentage of the wagers going to the victors. But as I said at the 
start, as long as you're on a bike you've already won and received your 
prize!  Maybe you'll receive a jar of my  pickles from this years 
harvest!   Who knows!!! One more reason to keep riding!
