No - but I did! Welcome! I can see your name now on the affiliation listing - so your meters will show up. The Fall Challenge is a great one for all the teams. It is second only to the Holiday Challenge for all of us.

Actually you were right. I didn't realize I needed to set up my affiliation to LUNA-TICS too. Drivetofast helped me out on that one. Thanks everyone for all of your help.

Welcome, ATX33 !!! I'm sure you will find your rowing compatible with your power lifting. Now, I'm going to guess the ATX part of ATX33 is for Austin, Texas, and that the ATX33 Directional Antenna I found with google is not related to your nickname. :)

Dan who, you are correct. I live in Austin, TX and the 33 was the most common jersey number I wore playing sports back in the day. Ive never thought to google that before so the antenna piece is pretty funny.

How is it that the more you do, the longer the to do list gets?!? Another of life's mysteries....

Image Mere days away!

SO...on YOUR to do list, take a minute to sign on to the Lunie Fall Challenge Team! You are sure to get yourself good and prepared for the Holiday Challenge....where you will endeavor to earn your reindeer, and antlers, and antler lights...flashing harness...tail wag ...and ear wag....consider this a teaser reminder! I know it's way early to consider this but I also know that the Fall Team Challenge is for sure a good prep for future events.

Oh I do see that reference to chamois butter ....

danwho has agreed to stats duty while I am Pedaling the Plains, so I will be handing off the stats after tomorrow's posting. THANKS, danwho! I've been looking at the wind patterns for the route - especially after one of the Bike Jeffco guys told me that you can be riding one direction and you're into the wind. Then, on your way back...dang, the wind has shifted and you're into a headwind again! Should be entertaining! The entire route is within the smell zone of Greeley, home to many feedlots and their bovine occupants. :shock:

I almost cancelled my participation - worried that my knee injury of a few months ago was going to flare up....and wondering if I was truly up to it this year. Then, Buttercup, I decided I was quitting before I even gave it a shot. So. I'm going. Send positrons and a good tailwind.

Welcome to the team ATX33! This hawk just wanted to hang out in the back yard today, I believe he is a coopers hawk and was trying to feed at the bird feeder, just not bird seed but small birds :( But what a beauty! My Summer has been revolving around training for a race to the the top of Mary Jane mtn in Winter park for this weekend, but I was humbled a couple days ago with a sleight tear to the lower calf muscle so running is now out of the cards and my race :( :( But the calf doesn't seem to get strained to much on the rower so think I will settle back into light weights and rowing..Kona hope you enjoy your ride, looks like some cool weather.
