Walking to Rivendell: End of Week 186
A tip of the hat to tacnukesoul, who was in the MS Walk and thus earned two shields at once. Also to lonebear and kugelblitz, who did bike support for same.
Since at least a few people would like to see this continue, I'm trying to figure out a way to simplify it so it's not quite as much of a chore every week. I must admit, I'd miss doing it too. I'll let you know what I come up with.
I'm guessing the trivia questions were too difficult (I'm so disappointed in you, edward_stanford!) so I'll definitely save a bit of time by not thinking of new ones. If you have no mileage, you'll just have to endure a blank description. Mwa ha ha!
8_legs_better has gone ten weeks with no mileage, so he's outta here. Brace yourselves for another big jump across Middle Earth as our average mileage leaps ahead next week!
Long walkers this week are tacnukesoul (naturally) with over two shields worth; lonebear, with over 30 miles; and edward_stanford, with just a tetch shy of a shield's worth. Hoody hoo!
New shields:
- 69th for edward_stanford
