2010 Team Mileage Challenge

IT'S GETTIN' MIGHTY CROWDED AT THE TOP!

Beauty & the Beasts still hold on to the lead - but only by 6 points as the Four Zealots streaked past Blondie & the Silver Streaks last week to take over the number two position. Hammerheads Return made another one of their miraculous returns to 4th place and STC (aka the Cranksters) tucked back up i nto 5th. The Missing Links take over the 6th place position and 8-Legged Cranksters nestle in right behind them in 7th. But check this out, there's only a 657 point spread between 1st and 7th. ANYTHING can happen here in the near future. (The excitement is really building, isn't it?)

On Page Two, Team 4F and Dave Squad swap the 8th and 9th place spots, while Kiss My Cog, Holy Horrors and Slow and Steady hold steady in 10th, 11th and 12th.

In other news, there are only three more weeks of competition left. Guess I'll have to start looking for a new gig.

Actual miles with out handicap.

Rules: (subject to change without notice, that is when David's team is not in first place :-)

Four person teams made up of NWCC members only.
The Team Challenge will run for 24 consecutive weeks.
The Team Challenge is for Bicycle mileage only consisting of:
Road miles - actual miles ridden
Off-road miles - 1.5 x actual miles ridden
Trainer miles - ZERO x actual miles ridden (meaning these don't count.)
Highwheel bicycle miles - 50 x actual miles ridden (okay, forget this rule!)

Report mileage on a weekly basis.
A week can be Sunday through Saturday or Monday thru Sunday - just be consistent.

The Team Challenge starts on April 4th and is finished on September 18th.

In order to help all riders compete on a more equal level, each rider will be given a handicap. Your handicap is determined on the difference of your weekly average from a base of 300. If your average is 160 miles a week, your handicap will be 140. As your average increases you handicap will decrease. If your average decreases, then your handicap will increase. Your handicap is determined by using your previous three weeks mileage totals. Therefore, the first three weeks will be used to set your average. As we begin week #4, you will see your handicap - and the challenge will be off and running. Strategy - always try to improve each week (i.e.. Your mileage plus handicap to equal more than 300). If your average is 160 and your handicap is 140 when you start the week. If you ride 165 miles, your total will be 305 - meaning you've improved. The team with members that consistently improve will move to the top of the stack. Although this is a Team Mileage Challenge, this does not mean that you have to always ride together with your team - or ever for that matter! Just make sure you report your individual mileage to David King (davidking228@gmail.com) each week - preferably by Tuesday so that it can be entered into your team's database. The standings will be posted each week showing the Team status as well as the Mileage, Average, and Handicaps of each individual. You can participate in the Team Mileage Challenge as well as the Individual Mileage Challenge - just make sure that you report your weekly mileage to David King AND Frank Thayer each week so that everything gets properly posted in each Challenge. This is a friendly Team competition. The mileage is strictly on the honor system. There are lots of "premes" along the way with great trophies and gift certificates for the top three teams and the end. All you have to do now is get your teams together and send the names in to David King.

Good luck to all.
