Meanwhile, Pedal the Plains ride starts tomorrow for me...and happily Danwho has agreed to take the virtual communication helm. I look forward to reading about all your meters and exploits in Lunie land while I am out there on Tour de Farm. If possible, I will upload some things while I am on the ride...and, if not, I will do so when I return.

Season meters as of 139/365 = 51,666,060 m

Total meters on the day = 430,930 m

Congrats Dan on reaching a million meters, and Thanks for sharing the article. I read up a little more on her, and it's amazing how a passion for life and rowing can give you such drive to stay on top of your game, even through the tremendous challenges she faced with cancer, truly inspiring.

Happy pedalling to ya K2, hope you have a blast!

Hey K2, looking forward to reading about your adventures. May the weather be great and you have lots of fun and you see interesting things.

[danwho]

Anyone else wondering if K2 might run into a mooseycle during her weekend adventure?
I'll try to cover the stats for a few days, but have no fear. K2 will be back with fresh bunny trails in two shakes of a lamb's tail.


And speaking of two shakes, I learned that a shake has become a precise measure:
"shake is a recognized unit of time. At the time of the first atomic bomb, scientists needed a term for an interval of time equal to 10 nanoseconds. Since two shakes of a lamb's tail is very quick, scientists coined the word shake to describe this unit of time."
But the shakes I'm talking about are for lunar lambs, so they last a little longer... I don't know, needs an astrogator to explain.

Okay, without further adieu, some stats. I'm a little too lazy for the labor-intensive graphics, so I borrowed a low-tech Gangman Style-ometer to put a stamp by the palindromes, and other special numbers.

Since K2 isn't in the game right now, I thought I would welcome Thomas Rafter to the team. I told him about the forum so perhaps we will see him here soon.
Welcome Tom, a great bunch of people can be found here. Have fun and happy metres.
Thor MW.
