The Great Thousand Mile Challenge

So Jillian and I need to train for this bike tour. Or at least that's what everyone keeps telling us. But training in the winter is hard, and sometimes I just don't want to make myself go climb on my trainer and pedal to nowhere in my living room. So that's why we're going to do the thousand mile challenge.

We've each challenged the other one to ride 1000 miles. Jillian and I are the type of people that compete at everything - in fact, in asking her for an example of something pointless that we compete at, she refused to give an answer, on the grounds that it might make my half of the blog better than her's. So we're hoping that a little race will motivate us.

Every day we'll log our training miles on the computer and the little bicycles at the bottom of the page will move slowly to the left. As per the somewhat amateur graphics, this was my first attempt at Inkscape, and I did almost all of it with a touchpad. So think of it as practice for later attempts.

Anybody up for challenging us to a training mile race?
