Please welcome member 100, our sky jumper:

Bill brings 318,024 m with him, so on that basis, your challenge is 3,180m...or should I make it 3,180 minutes? :twisted:

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!!

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?

I noticed that - I think we lost 2 million metres?

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.

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!
