[Calamity]

Happy New Year rowing everyone. Guinan forgot to serve Norma's KGB on New Year's Eve, so serving it up now. Here are the ingredients in case you would like to try it yourself:
2 tsp. Brandy, apricot
1 1/2 oz. Gin
1/2 oz. Kirsch
1/2 oz. Lemon Juice
1 twist Lemon
1/2 tsp. Sugar, superfine

K2 - no palindrome for me today - I wanted to finish the year at 11,000,000 life time. Thanks for all you do.

Whoop, whoop and oh happy day! Congratulations, Cheryl, on a magnificent finish to the 2017 erging season...landing on exactly 1,000,000 m and achieving meter millionaire status for the FIRST TIME EVER! We wish you many, MANY more!!

What a year! Cheryl achieved her first million lifetime meters not too long ago, won a prize in the Mudness contest, and now caps it off with a FIRST ever meter millionaire status. Well done!

Congratulations Cheryl!!!

Awesome Thor!!! Great job!!

We finished the year with 110,157,184 team meters generated by 136 team members. We started back to the moon in 2016 season when we generated 109 MM and some change. The combined total of 2016 and 2017 seasons brings us a little more than halfway to the moon! As always, our long journey is made better by our teammates! To the moon, mates, to the moon!

Sadly today is a public holiday and my gym which is a bit of a "mom & pop" business is closed so had to get out on the bike.
Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

sorry if i missed anyone.......soooooo wooooooooooo hooooooooo and congrats to all the luna-tics for all the amazing meters :]

[Terrepin]

Congratulations to all of the late in the year accomplishments. Way to kick in gear to reach 1 MM meter, multi-MM meter and lifetime meters goals. Looking forward to another great year for 2017/2018!

Keep calm and Row, fellow Lunies!

Hi Team,

Always great to see everyone pushing to the end! My goal at the begging of this season was to make 40 million lifetime meters. There were times I would push myself and other times say it is okay if you don't... I gave up a few tee times this month to achieve the goal. Also the 114 degrees helps me stay inside. Ha ha

Today I achieved what I started - 40 million lifetime meters. It always feels good to be on a great team that keeps us all motivated! Could not do it on my own - always take the motivation to heart and believe in ourselves.

So a shoutout to my teammates for being here throughout the season. Very much appreciated!

Ok it also helps when you live in a country with not much to do... but you still have to put you butt in the seat.

Congratulations to all!

Happy Rowing,

Ed

Woo Hoo!
You should have no problem finishing a lap around the world this week!

Whoop, whoop and world traveler! Ron's had some challenges in posting commentary...but wowzer, this one deserves a shout out! Congratulations, Ron, on achieving FORTY MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND lifetime meters...and becoming a member of a very elite group of rowers who have circled the earth! We wish you many, MANY more milestones!

In fact, I see that we have FOUR other teammates who could enter the circle-the-earth status in this next year: Will, bg, Danno and Minnie. No wonder we are on our way back to the moon!

Woo Hoo!
Ron has been pretty quiet lately, and seemed to have not been able to put in so many meters early in the season, but lately has been pouring it on - flying by so many people, and now finishing a lap around the Earth!

Any day with the bike is a GREAT day. We are multi-sport people and will look forward to seeing your name on the roster soon.

Oh you bikers, always looking to get two wheels flying. When I was away, I got to visit with the amazing man I used to ride tandem bike with about 19 years ago. He didn't let me drive ... often. Grin.

Have fun and happy trails.
