LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[Kona2]

The moon was amazing as I flew into Denver last night ! I tried to get a photo but the airplane wing was "in the way". And then seeing the blood red lunar eclipse at 4 ish AM was also amazing - gives a different dimensional sense to the night sky!

Hooboy! This colder weather makes it wonderful to erg inside !

bg reports that she won't be able to complete the Holiday Challenge this year due to some physical restrictions ...but she's back rowing with us as she can! She still can't get on the forum (although I will talk her through it when I can catch up with her!). She relays her "hi!" and best wishes to all Lunies!

Whoop, whoop and what a way to start the day! Congratulations, Chip, on erging eight million meters in this still young 2023 season! It is clear that the erg bike gives you more hours of delight than the rower did! We wish you many, MANY more milestones and celebrations!!

[Kona2]

Whoop, whoop and he's got ANOTHER million! And just like that, Tombeur has flipped the meter dial to 2 MM for the season! Congratulations! We wish you many, MANY more milestones and celebrations!

Almost missed this one - just skierg 1000 m and put it in your logbook to gain your virtual ranking! "Just ski" seems like a pretty cavalier way to say it - no doubt about it that skierging 1000 m is a tough one! Congratulations, Rod, on completing this challenge!

Tis the season! Keep an eye on the Challenge calendar!



The reindeer have started their annual migration to our Luniverse in anticipation of being claimed by Lunie ergers during the Holiday Challenge. For those new to this Lunie tradition, here's how the season of the reindeer works for us.

1. Choose your charity from the list that Concept2 supports - you want to get your two cents worth! You earn 0.02 US cents per kilometer erged for the first 100 K. Adaptive athletes and kids under 16 have a target of 50 K. This is the toughest $2 you'll ever earn.

2. While you are choosing your charity, make sure that your address is correct in your profile - because you'll want to earn your Holiday Challenge pin from Concept2 (and that takes a bunch of meters).

3. Once you reach either 100K or 50K, your charity cents are in the Concept2 bank...and you've earned your reindeer. Traditionally, we have started the names with the original eight from the Clement Moore "Twas The Night Before Christmas" origins...there is, naturally, a big push by everyone to be one of the first eight to reach the reindeer. Still, some prefer to request a name for their reindeer. We do our best to make sure your reindeer has the name you wanted it to have! General rule of reindeer names is that if you had a certain reindeer name in the previous season, you'll get that same reindeer name unless you specify otherwise!

4. After you reach 100K or 50K, every kilometer you earn thereafter is worth 0.04 US cents. Some of our teammates have earned more than $10 during the Challenge for their Charity. Any direct personal contributions of real money that you wish to make towards the charity - well, you need to contact the charity directly.

5. Along the way, there are virtual reindeer accessories that you earn from our Lunie portion of the Challenge. You earn antler lights at 200K, a flashing harness at 300K, a tail wag at 400 K, and an ear wag at 500K.

Agree with you on this! I didn't even go THAT fast, but it was still a big push...felt more like interval training!
