Bike Bets

Last year I planned to do a lot of biking, but I did far less than a lot. So how many miles will I bike this year? Here's the plan: I intend to bike to church once a week this warm season. It is 12.2 miles to church, 24.4 round trip, but in the interest of simplicity we're going to call it an even 25. I am going to aim for 20 such trips, a total of 500 miles. Now, as a matter of record, I only biked about 100 miles last year! So place your bets and whenever the weather turns back to cold, we'll declare the winner. Place your bets!


Bets:
Calvin 6,500
Kirk 532
Goal: 500 miles
Bryan 468.6
Steph 300
Matthew 225
Jo 200
Dena 175
Current Total: 150 miles
Jessica 125
Elliott 2

Catch Up

It's amazing that I can post every single day and still forget to post what I'm supposed to post. Some of your reminded me that I didn't do BBC Blogger Awards for April. I have done them and back-dated them to April 30th. You can either scroll down or click HERE. Here are some other news and notes:

1. I also forgot to continue my 10 Commandments of Blogging Series.
2. It's getting to be do or die time for my beloved Sabres.
3. Despite not getting drafted, I enjoyed the NFL Draft. Bills did good.
4. I'm currently teaching through Acts, Disciplines, Jude, Romans
5. I got my 'get nephew off the bus' job back, but only part time (Monday's)
6. I keep forgetting to eat. I am averaging less than 1 meal a day.
7. Saturday I plan to re-try my 40 yard dash (minus the video)
8. Next week I hope to begin biking season
9. I should have started this week

5.61

I'm changing the date of this post so I can do the April awards
Ok. The settings were a little primitive, but I got my 1st 40 yard dash time tonight. 5.61 seconds. I am pretty sure I can improve on that time. Special thanks to mom, dad & the neighbor's dog 'big head' for helping out. Here's the video:

Idol #5

This week they are voting off 2 of the idol hopefuls. In my opinion the only 'safe' contestant is Melinda. Jordin would have been safe if not for the fact that she got the worst reviews from the judges this week. Blake has unique enough to endear him to people. Lakisha had her best week in a month. Phil sounded great. Chris did alright, but he should be gone. He's definitely a notch below the others. Who else should go? I just don't know. If it was just up to me I'd vote off Chris & Lakisha. But here are my statistical standings:

Melinda 7 (89)
Jordin 6 (83)
Lakisha 8 (81)
Phil 8 (80)
Blake 8 (76)
Chris 7 (74)
