the number of furlongs in a league.
apparantly there are 8 furlongs in a mile, i learned this just today on my ride home form school. I hope this helps.
go to www.google.com and type in 1 furlong to league and hit search. The answer will pop up at you.
thanks again for your help!
by the way, I actually needed to type 1 league to furlongs, because i was looking for the # of furlongs in a league, not vice versa.
But you see what a powerful tool that site is!
