New Challenge Details (Started Feb 12 to Nova Scotia)
Are you ready for the next challenge ?
The Mardi Gras Challenge is over. It's on to the next.
This one is going to be tough, but I know we can do it. We'll be breaking this tour into 4 "legs".
Leg 1 (2141 miles):
-
done
Nova Scotia Challenge
We'll by travelling by road from New Orleans to Nova Scotia (to visit our Canadian friends
).
Leg 2 (2690 miles):
-
in progress
Atlantic Ocean Challenge
This will be tricky because we'll be travelling across a virtual bridge that goes over the Atlantic Ocean! If we're lucky, we can board the QE2 for some gambling.
Leg 3 (353 miles):
Paris Challenge:
We'll be back on land in Brest, Brittany, France where we'll travel by road again to Paris.
Leg 4 (2109 miles): 7/3-7/25
Tour de France Challenge:
Tour de France! The actual tour is 22 days, but I don't think that is reasonable for us, unless get to Paris early.

Rules:
A thread for each leg will be started in the Fitness forum. When the mileage is met, I'll change the title to say "closed", and we'll start posting in the next thread.
Log your miles daily, weekly, whenever you want, then add it to the previous poster's total. The last post always show the current tally.
To earn miles, you can walk, run, swim, cycle, eliptical, or whatever other machine shows you distance. If your machine doesn't show distance (such as a stair climber), you can go by time. 15 minutes = 1 mile. If it's a stationary bike, it's 5 minutes = 1 mile. If you're machine shows kilometers then multiply it by .62. (1km = .62miles)
Try to keep miles rounded to the nearest half. The tally gets difficult when there's too many decimals.
Everyone is welcome to join at any time. We need every mile. We missed our December challenge by 100 miles. If everyone logged just one mile that month, we would have made it.
