[Rec_bike] ACCC Update

[Mathew Wright]

Safety First! 

Also, if I was riding right now, I would be leaving my house when it was dark outside and there would be days that it would be dark out when I got home. Please know the roads you are on and don't ride if you do not think it is safe. With bad weather possibly happening soon, expect there to be all sorts of unexpected obstacle, like parked cars on the side of the road! 

Good Luck! 
Mat

While we do lament Chris' step down, I am happy to report that Ken has logged his first ride! He is an Owl shifter and has some work to do convincing his family of the advisability of night riding but he is optimistic that they will convert. 


Meanwhile, Will is a beast with 100% Consistency (though he hasn't logged his miles today). Arne is the miles leader with 143. And through the magic of weekend work, I have the most days ridden (8). 
As Mat and Arne can attest, safety is paramount. Cycling saves gas, emissions, and wear & tear on your car's engine. It helps keep the rider healthier... if you make sure to make each ride a safe one.

Well this is sad news. Chris was the milage winner last year so he retires at the top of his game. Chris also slogged through two years of route 17 construction and logged o 2632 miles in 2014 and 2015 FCCC, making him the overall mileage leader to date. Once the rules for induction into the ACCC Hall-of-Fame are approved, Chris will be the top of nomination list. 

True grit personified,

The first (partial) week has ended. Arne has jumped to an early lead in the Mileage category. Will and myself are keeping pace with him in the Consistency (100%!). I find myself with the most days biked due to the unfortunate circumstance of having worked this past weekend. 

The rest of the pack has yet to record mileage. What is stopping you? Friday was a gorgeous day for a ride!

I'd like to thank Mike for taken on configuring the Commute Challenge spreadsheet for 2016. Yes, I crash out in spectacular fashion last year. Shoulder has more or less recovered. Still working on the teeth but that has been a lifelong issue for me. Anyway, yes I intend to ride this year, although promises have been made to be a bit less committed to the cause. 

I won't be greasing my chain, as I've upgrade to a belt drive! Lights on! Go!

The Earth is approaching the point where the Sun will cross its celestial equator! The Autumnal Cycling Commuter Challenge is upon us! I have updated the spreadsheet . And the rules . Feel free to invite others (have them email me). 

Grease your chain, adjust your cables, and ride!
