Team:

 

What a wildly successful year!  Twentieth Place among clubs (and there are some nation- and state-wide clubs so it's an apples to oranges kind of comparioson, so we really did much better against purely local clubs); 121,159 miles with an averag of 3,107 miles per member with 52 members (and unfortunately a lot of non-reporting members who I know logged some big miles last year)!

 

So successful, I've set the bar higher (isn't that always the case with life, that once you do good, you are expected to do better the next year...), setting a target of 150,000 miles for the Team in 2009.  So keep logging your miles on www.bikejournal.com, and take advantage of the component tracking features so the tool can track your tire and chain mileage as well as your workouts.  It's important to track your chain mileage, since a worn chain can chew up your cassette and crank teeth and cost you a whole lot more than a new chain...a good rule of thumb is to lube your chain every 200 miles or so (in dry weather, do more often if you ride in the rain), and look to replace your chain every 2,000 to 3,000 miles, depending on what a $10 tool called the Park Chain Checker (tool CC-3) tells you.
