My BikeJournal ranking

Here is a graph of my BikeJournal.com ranking including a linear trendline. I’ve been slipping these last few weeks.
I find recording and charting my cycling data helps me tremendously in motivating me to continue working. Getting on the trainer at 7pm is like climbing a tree with boxing gloves on (on my hands, the gloves aren’t on the tree…).
Also the social aspect of BikeJournal is helpful, too. If I’m off the bike for a few days, my ranking slips. When I go on a long ride, say 63 miles in the middle of February, my ranking shoots up remarkably. The closer I get to my regular cycling “neighbors” the less my ranking will vary.
