I’m going from San Francisco to Seattle by bicycle. To allow you to participate, sorta, I’m setting up a pool (SteveF’s idea). Here’s the question: How much weight will Dave lose on the trip? My dad loves playing games like this with us – turnin’ the tables on ya, Pop!
The ride details are here. Dave’s physical details are here.
To play, reply to this post (note: you need to be signed up and signed in to reply — it keeps spam down) with a nickname you want to use and how many pounds you guess I’ll lose (lose, not weigh). Then use the Donate button on the lower right and drop in a dollar.
Details: The one closest to correct weight gets the entire pot. If there is a tie, the win will go to the person who picked the lowest number. (Example Jack picks 10 lbs, Jill picks 12 lbs, Dave loses 11 lbs, then Jack wins). If two people pick the same number, I’ll ask the second one to pick a new guess. Dave will be weighed again within 24 hours of reaching Seattle.

I say Dave will lose 22.1# and will looking for a dry place to sleep when he hits the Oregon Coast. He can stay at our house for Thanksgiving holiday. Lots of turkey and trimmings. May even let you drive your old car which is looking pretty good about now.
