Re: [RC] km's anyone? Tracey no! - Chrystal WoodhouseTracey BAD idea!!! Then what would us Canadians have to feel superior about?? It's hard living next to a superpower, leave us something!!!:-) :-) ;-) Chrystal ( who gets thorugh my rides km by km & can talk distance to the rest of the world :-) )
Our government tried to initiate the whole metric thing in the USA and some of us never caught on...that is, we couldn't translate. I guess the government gave up. We're still using our own bizarre method of describing distances and volume, etc. Maybe metric makes more sense, but we're used to our methods and it's a lot of work to learn a new "language." <g> Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracey Lomax To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 10:45 AM Subject: [RC] Other nations and endurance Whilst we’re on the subject (and I’m probably going to be flamed anyway)…..WHEN are you guys gonna catch up with the rest of the world and go metric?? Kilometers, anyone? Tracey (it’s a public holiday here, I’ve had some wine, forgive me!)
