What about rollers?

No turbo miles! One of my friends on Dailymile is logging lots of turbo miles and it annoys me, if only because he's ahead of me on the leader board. Yes he's working out hard etc....but cycling it ain't. No climbs, no headwind, no traffic, going nowhere.

You can add the distance the rollers actually move along the floor.

When I go out on the bike I have to carry my bike and associated cyclo-paraphernalia down and then up 67 steps no matter what the weather. I don't log the steps. Of course, it's effort and it's exercise, what with the shopping an' all, but it's not cycling. Any distance covered whilst remaining stationary is always going to be problematic.

I'd say no draughting miles either ... because you end up going 20% further than us hardcore soloists for any given level of energy.

Well I had to ask. Would've been nice to double my total for the year so far!

More like quadruple!! I rode 29 miles on grass/rutted river banks the other week and it knackered me far more than
the 78 miler i did on the road bike last year!!
I see from the replies that the rule will continue to be enforced. I still need to keep a log of all my exercise so I have, with regret, removed myself from the group and set up my own.

Sorry about that, Rafiki, but we don't want to give the Aussies cause for accusing us of match-fixing or ball-tampering!
Understood Helen.

Couldnt you set yourself up with two identities on MCL ? one for your road miles - and stay with us, t'other for your turbo miles which would not be part of cc group. Or set an account up with another logging program where you can keep both together, and still log only road miles with MCL. Extra faff I know, but shame to lose the road miles you can contribute.
I was just looking at my MCL 'Add' page and am wondering about the two check dots under heading 'Type' 'Cycling' and ''Other'. Can't see any help page on it but perhaps that could be the way. I'll play about with in on my own group and see.
