Member 100
Please welcome member 100, our sky jumper:
Bill Kochuk (USA)
Bill brings 318,024 m with him, so on that basis, your challenge is 3,180m...or should I make it 3,180 minutes?

100th member
Welcome to all the new members
Simsy, dont even think about 3180minutes because it equates to 53 hours on the rower which is about 4 months work 4 me!!
i like this "little" challenge though!!

Re: 105
Well past that now. Only another 332 million metres and we have rowed to the moon. Can we get the required distance (384,401,470m) by the end of the season?PSims wrote:250km to go and we reach 50 Million metres

Re: 114
I noticed that - I think we lost 2 million metres?PSims wrote:Small blip - we have lost a member today - so we are 114 again.
Anyone wanting the details, please email me and I'll share.
I think that it is wishful thinking that we will be to everyone's taste. We are free. People are free to test out the club and leave if they want to. I do worry sometimes that we get a bit obsessive about all the challenges and metres etc. (I know I seem to be!). We should not forget that the whole point (as FS was sold to me) was that the aim was to get people on the C2 machine - no more than that.

Agreed
Hi Thomas,
I have sent you the details - it isn't to do with our enthusiasm - that's fine.
Personality conflict between 2 people - happens everywhere.
Onwards....slightly further to the moon!
