Discussion: Maximizing the Cristina contribution?

It looks as if the Christiansburg to Blacksburg round trip is nearly ideal for getting the most out of the Cristina pledge (depending on your exact start and finish points and the route taken--might need to carry the bike for the last mile or so). On the other hand, you might not have to go very far over the 5299 mile mark to compensate for the $51 drop from that one source with the other per-mile contributions. There might turn out to be another OK riding day or two left in the year, and there are some other local maxima at 5309, 5319 potentially within reach.... Weather forecasts don't always get things perfect!

But then there's Valerie, with each day getting more valuable as we near the end of the month (assuming I get 10 miles done). And various other permutations and considerations. It quite likely has already exceeded my capacity to compute. :-)

I think I'll just see what opportunities the weather (and life) offer. We'll be visiting Gail's brother and family (spouse and kids and grandkids) starting tomorrow, and how my time is spent may not be up to me, even if the weather were to cooperate. Current forecast is rain much of the time.

“And, any day with neither will earn 2X that day's value, if you log a Gagarinism - funny, sad, contemplative, throw back (old entry), etc. ”

Don’t forget the Valerie “easy out” clause... :)
