You're right, Mark, but for me, door-door is ~140miles.
I am hoping to visit this bears den outlook and take the same route back or Chesapeake & Ohio route. I know that W&OD will be crowded, so I may have to start early.

The Number One ranked rider for the challenge right now is
TERRY STINSON387 miles/4 days

This guy rode 387 miles in 4 days ? wow. Where is he going ;-) ?

 

[J.R.]

I tried to enlist a rider for our team today, but he didn't have a way to log his miles. I met this guy on the rail trail that's part of my commute, he needed directions. He was traveling on his bicycle from Texas where he wintered, to Maine where he will summer. He went on to tell me of his travels for the past year, last summer he spent in the Canadian Rockies then went on to Texas. What a shame he isn't on our team! I did my usual 34 miles today, cheating on an ebike and he does a century every day That put perspective on my rides

Wow. Lucky dude. I did not bike home today. My son brought my car to my work at 4pm and I went sea kayaking with 5 friends while my son and his gf biked back home.

[grench]

I added another 11 today without the battery...the wife and I took a stroll down the river walk.

 

[Brambor]

Rode our bikes all over Boston last Saturday. Nice day! Did some fatbiking on Sunday at a local park. Great weekend.
