OK - that was very funny but now I'm depressed. All of this rowing is either going to kill me or get me in shape...right now I definitely feel like it could be the former! :(

6000M this morning and I need a nap! Help, I need to go riding and remind myself why I'm torturing myself like this!!

No, you would be torturing yourself, if you made yourself ride that Hodaka around. :lol:

Could you please post a picture so we can confirm this? Because if I post one of myself, it's gonna blow your theory all too hell.

That's pretty cool that he would take notice like that.

I just came back from having my sutures removed. Doc says lay off upper body exercise for another week. Sorry everyone, that only gives me the last 3 days of the month for rowing for the challenge. I'll try to do as many meters as I can, though.

I would be interested in joining a regular Moto Madmen And Women team. My regular team didn't even enter a JVTC team. Kind of nice to hear from other riders & learn about how they train. Even though I'm not a racer, just a street rider & Iron Butt wannabe, I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you guys. My main interest in rowing as it concerns riding is improving my endurance for long rides as well as losing weight.

Hey I think our forum is more entertaining than a lot of the other Moto websites out there (RiderDown and RacerX virtual trainer excluded). We will keep the team alive even after the challenge. To tell the truth there are a lot of people very impressed with what are team is doing both here at C2 and within the over 3000 people doing the challenge. I contacted RacerX Canada and told them about what we are doing and I am hoping they will do an article on it. I do have to say that after this month is over I may take a day or 2 off the machine. Let’s try and keep the ball rolling for the rest of the month. I have some idea’s for some great challenges that are more than just how many meters can you row. Moto Madmen and Women kick butt! And with that note I am off to go row.

I plan on taking more than a couple of days off when this is finished. :lol: I've got a race this weekend, so I'm gonna have a few days of inactivity coming up. So you other guys better pick up the pace.

Three days x 100,000M a day would be a nice way to end the month. :shock:

I know I could win a fewest meters rowed contest.

No one can under-row(?) me, 2whlrcr. :) I think I may have one more half in me to finish out this challenge.

Good luck with the Iron Butt thing Kevin. I've done a few Saddlesore 1000's and they were tough :twisted:

Greg,

You've inspired me. Unfortunately I am currently in Longlac, nowhere near a rower! :roll: I won't be back home until late Friday. I'm hoping I can fire off a few marathons to in the last week to finish strong.

Whats up guys and gals? This is my first post, so Im just saying Hi. I need to put some more effort into this rowing thing. Its tuff. But I spent a few days at moto town last week and felt great on the bike so i guess it will all pay off in the end. Please bring the warm weather back to the Northeast!!
