The 2018 Commuting Mileage Thread!
 
HEY!!! It's a NEW YEAR!!! YEAH!!! REALLY!!! (I'm STILL in China!!! (I signed up for another year back in October), and already ahead of you (ignore the forum's date/time stamp). 新年快乐!!! Happy New Year, and Happy 2018! It's time for the newest edition of the Commuting Mileage Thread!

For reference, here's a link to the 2017 thread to compare how everyone did last year! there you'll find a link to the 2016, and earlier years editions.


Here's the instructions based on those written by Swifty . . .

This is a thread where us commuters can log our yearly commuting mileage in. Should be fun!

To add your mileage (Standard or Statute Mile)(and rounded to the tenth of a mile), just copy the list from the previous post and add your name and mileage at the appropriate line in the list. To update your mileage, cut your name and mileage line, and paste it at the new location according to your new mileage total.

[EDIT] By keeping everything in "Courier New", the list aligns nicely... You'll have to change the font, but it makes it easier to keep things looking good [/EDIT]

For even more fun, you can highlight your name in red (Here's a Link to "HOW TO") and you could even add your state's 2 Letter code, or a country code after your name to let us know where you are...

Example: Let's suppose the list is as follows:

Swifty ______________________________ 1275.8 (Total 1405)
John (OH) ___________________________ 1200.4
Mary _________________________________ 988.5 (Total 1350)
Robert (CA) __________________________ 500.0



I want to put in my mileage, so I copy the list above, put in my name plus my current commuting mileage total for this year (Optionally, following that, I'll add parenthesis with my Cumulative Total Miles, or an alternative distance measurement (I use the Chinese Lǐ (里)). You can also put in your commute ratios in brackets... e.g [3/5] is three commutes for five opportunities:

Swifty ______________________________ 1275.8 (Total 1405)
John (OH) ___________________________ 1200.4
Mary _________________________________ 988.5 (Total 1350)
Robert (CA) __________________________ 500.0
K'Tesh (PRC) _________________________ 251.7 (643.74 里) [45/60]


A week later I want to update my mileage, So I copy over the list from the most recent post, and adjust the mileage behind my name. As my mileage has become greater that the mileage of the person above me in the list, I cut and paste my name to represent the changed standings: (You can also put in your commute ratios in brackets... e.g [3/5] is three commutes for five opportunities)

Swifty ______________________________ 1275.8 (Total 1405)
John (OH) ___________________________ 1200.4
Mary _________________________________ 988.5 (Total 1350)
K'Tesh (PRC) _________________________ 671.6 (1931.21 里) [53/75]
Robert (CA) __________________________ 500.0

Please don't color your state's code or total miles in blue, I only added the color to show where I edited in changes

If you want, you can do a quick search and check out the threads from past years, beginning in 2009.

For me, 2017 was far superior to what I experienced in 2016... I hope this trend continues in spite of all the other weirdness going on in the world.

I Hope you all have An Even Better 2018!

Atvar, that was only due to a technical error... Remember, ALL who participate are winning.

So, lets try this again... Minus the Chinese characters (I'll use the Pinyin instead)...

Surely, everyone who commutes by bike is already winning. It was only meant to be a joke. :)
