Well played, Dasher! That's quite a chunk of post-turkey erging.

The bikeErg meters are confusing. They count toward the Holiday Challenge, but apparently do not count toward one's cumulative meters. Is anyone else biking?

Back from a Thanksgiving holiday in Asheville, NC - visited the Biltmore Estate.
As you can see in the last image, it turns out I did have access to a rowing ergometer in the Biltmore's gymnasium - but for some pesky museum ropes.

Hi All,
I just "rejoined" the Luna-tics (actually, I never left, but had been in hibernation for quite a while). I rowed pretty regularly back in 2012-2014. During 2014-2015, I rowed inconsistently as my responsibilities increased at home and work. In November 2015, I moved, and my poor C2 spent almost 2 years in storage. I'm back in a better living situation now, and recently got the rower out of storage and set up. I've rowed a few times over the past couple of weeks, but just found my connecting cord over the weekend.

I was briefly nervous that in the 2 years since I last logged on, maybe the Luna-tics were less active or (I shouldn't even say it!) totally gone. I should have known better! I was so pleased to log on to the forum today and see so many familiar names! So, a big "Hi!" to everyone.

Also, my memory must not be great because I thought the holiday challenge didn't start until December! :shock: Looks like I have some catching up to do to get my pin!
