Why do we have a medical person on this site? Is someone sick? Are we all sick? Knowing Carlos and Jeff personally I fear the latter. Birds of a feather and all that... As for the theme of this post it seems someone(s) just showing off how many bikes and jerseys they have. I remember that happening before inthis site. Well done guys! @Dizzy.

The snow would add a surfactant-quality (that's slipperyness for you non-medical people). That factor, and again, I ran the numbers, would add nearly 0.5 to the multiplier. However, and not to take anything away from the awesomeness of her ride, let's keep in mind that @corrine was using studded tires. This would nullify the surfactant impact and therefore make the snow vs dirt equal.

I wonder if it should be more than the 2.5 for dirt? Can't speak from personal experience on that one either. @Corrine – I think a fat bike always adds a multiplier of 2, but I’m sure snow deserves its own multiplier.

Can't wait to see them when I get done but love the story and the math. @dylan - does riding a fat bike on snow add a multiplier of 2? Does that mean I actually went 200 miles? Wow, I am tough. Thanks for helping my self esteem! Jeff and BostonCarlos, love that you used all of those bikes! How fun and totally crazy. No time to watch the videos at work. Can’t wait to see them when I get done but love the story and the math.

Fantastic! @BostonCarlos, no WONDER we felt so gassed at the end of the day. Almost 151 miles! Wow us! @Dylan, I second the thanks. Fantastic!
