I just revisited the Walk TO Rivendell site, and I'm amazed. They've done marvellous work, expanding the milage to include Frodo's entire quest-- even, astoundingly, to the Grey Havens, and back to Bag End with Sam.

hats off to them.

And I guess-- it's now worth going back through my logs (rowing and biking both) and entering my miles, and seeing where I've gotten to over all these intervening years.

Thanks, Estelyn, for the nudge. I had been hesitating, because it never did seem fair to me to use biking miles, since Frodo walked most of the way to Mount Doom. But then, on the return trip, he did ride.

I guess I can change my ergometer kilometers into "Anduin" miles.

Now I have to decide whether to pick up where I left off, or, start over... I'm not sure I still have the old data.
