The ICE/Pedal Power Combo Contest

Good Trader's List applies.

My wife and I are taking a road trip beginning June 14, through June 21. We are taking our bicycles, for one organized fundraiser ride, and two planned trail/park rides.

The driving itinerary is:
Hummelstown, PA to near Milton, DE, and back to Hummelstown;
Hummelstown to Wellsboro, PA;
Wellsboro, PA to Erie, PA;
Erie, PA to near St. Mary's, PA;
St. Mary's, PA to Hummelstown.

The bicycling planned is:
The ride at Milton, DE;
A ride on the Pine Creek Gorge Rail-to-Trail near Wellsboro;
A ride in and around Presque Isle State Park near Erie.

There will be three prize categories, each category winner will receive a Forum Fiver.
The categories are:
Closest to actual driving miles (ICE = Internal Combustion Engine);
Closest to actual bicycling miles (Pedal Power);
Closest to total miles (Combo).
Same person can win multiple categories, and receive the prize for each.

Winners will be the closest to actual, whether over or under the actual.
Driving miles will include all miles as recorded by the vehicle tripmeter, including all other activities and excursions we do.
Bicycling miles will be as recorded by my bike tripmeter, which may not be calibrated to exact accuracy, but it's what I have. I will only include the three rides listed, even if we do other riding.
Total miles guessed must be the sum of your ICE/PP guesses.
Please guess to the tenth of a mile. Any guesses without tenths will be assumed to be .0 tenths.
One guess per person, please.
The contest will remain open until Friday, June 14th, at midnight. I will determine winners sometime after June 21.

Good Luck!

    Not coincidentally, that is where the bike ride originates and ends.

    What is the minimum amount of alcohol you must consume before starting the ride?

    No minimums. We wait until after the ride. Two free beers are part of the registration fee.

    This was a missed opportunity for a large scale drinking game with lots of participants. Who could drink the most and finish the race, who made it first, or just how far did you make it. 😄

    Make you? No. Provide the opportunity? Yes!

    It's not a race, just a ride. I prefer to finish it alive.

    Sounds like an awesome trip - biking through Pine Creek and Presque Isle sounds like a dream. I’ll throw in a guess just for fun.

    Sorry @calex837 , but the others are correct. The forum rules require people to be on the Good Trader's List to participate in contests. If you can get on the list by the 14th, by completing a trade with a member already on the list, you can make a guess. That'll be a large task in the time frame, but if you create a thread asking for a trade, make arrangements with someone, and can send your part of the trade first, maybe you can get it done. I believe the minimum trade is a Forum Fiver, which is typically between 5-9 cigars.

    It’s been “forgotten” for a few people

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Not forgotten but qualified by other means such as referral and vouching, vHerf participation, etc.
