Phew, ok! Happy Saturday everyone. Hope you all have fantastic weekends planned!!!!

  

In the mean time, I'm happy to announce the 2016 Two Point Challenge Field of Competitors!!

Megan and I scraped this information from the comments on our respective blogs, but it's an imperfect system so please let us know if we missed something or got a detail wrong!

More importantly, tho - take a close looksie through the following list. This is always such a great way to find new blogs, so click through to any names you don't recognize! I know there are a few here who are new to me too!

See the handy dandy histogram below to see how your baseline compares with the rest of the field. And remember there are TWO chances to win. Are you going for the longest time? Or the most improved? Or trying for a shot at either?!? 

  
Regardless of what you're hoping to win, you've got your work cut out for you, so get to work!!


***

For those of you competing in the contest, remember that your weekly totals / best times are due to either Megan or me in the comments at the end of each weekend (so, by end of day Sunday). Just commenting on your own blog (or texting me, Nicole, lol) doesn't count!!!

  15. I didn't ride this weekend (I spent it stuffing my face with turkey for Thanksgiving and cursing the freezing rain) so I don't have a weekly update. Not an auspicious start...

  16. I'm not sure if we were supposed to do a weekly check in this past weekend since the sign up date ended during the week. Either way I was out of town until Sunday night and didn't get to ride. Maybe this week.
