My brother and I were talking while driving down to Oregon about what I would do with myself since I had quit my job and planned to take the summer off. I figured I would try and get into reasonable shape - so I bet him that I would be able to ride 1500 miles on my bike in June.
Conditions of the bet:
I have to start and finish the rides at reasonable locations - no getting a ride to the top of one of the mountain passes and riding downhill for 50 miles.
It has to be outside riding - no windtrainers or stationary bikes.
If some extraordinary life event occurs (I find a job I'm willing to take before the summer is over for example) then the bet is nullified.
There are a couple of different stages in the bet (not all or none - or I would be too likely to just decide screw it and pay off):
<750 miles - I owe him 2 betting units.
<1500 miles - I owe him 1 betting unit.
>=1500 < 2000 - he owes me 2 betting units.
>= 2000 - he owes me 3 betting units.
I plan to post each day in june how many miles I rode and my running total. I just got a nice new Garmin Edge 705 cycle computer and plan to upload the routes that I rode once I figure out how to work it.
