I did that. It found the group–but still provided no link to join it. I’m pretty sure there used to be a join link–it looks like one of their updates killed it.

Not a moron. Here is the link to the team. But I can’t find a link to join, either.

I’m hanging out on a bench next to the refreshment stand. 60 year old white female, yellow and white jersey, black tights, seriously overloaded bike.

Do I sense bitterness here!

Here is what Google bike maps recommends, in the absence of 4MR trail. However, my plan is to show up at the Jefferson Memorial CaBi station and follow whoever looks like s/he knows the way. If that doesn’t work, I’ll set the GPS on my phone to tell me where to go–and assume that it will recalculate once I get thrown off onto the 4MR detour.

You know you can delete a post? If you click on “Edit,” there is a choice there for “Delete.”

Well, if you count by weight, they definitely are! Maybe you should get to double your BAFS miles, on the theory that you actually rode two bikes at once?

Well, I’m still having issues with its moving all my Sunday rides in MapMyFitness to Monday rides in National Bike Challenge. But other than that, it works.

Cool. Thanks for that!

Oh what a tangled web of ride syncing I’ve woven between Tapiriik and now this. At least I won’t have to go the NBC site every day now.

Oh, and BTW, with all the stuff that seems to be buggy and not working on the site, integration of data from mapmyride.com is one thing that seems to be working just great.

[cvcalhoun]

Surely some of those photos should be posted on the Inter-team photos contest?

[cvcalhoun]

Fitnessyncer will sync Garmin or Strava to MapMyFitness, which is one of the apps that works with the National Bike Challenge. Just be aware that it syncs only once a day. I set it to sync, and when it didn’t seem to work right away, uploaded all those rides to MapMyFitness–only to have them all duplicated after the first sync. Other than that, it has worked fine.

is tapirik not syncing endomondo anymore? If not, then I’m out. Toilet paper is not worth the hassle of uploading multiple times.

It is not … :-[ When Collin (the developer behind tapiriik.com) added the new “stationary activity” (i.e. trainer ride) support to the tool, the Endomondo plugin was disabled. I assume it is either because Endomondo doesn’t support FIT activity types through their API or some other shortcoming related to this functionality. I have not asked Collin about it — or volunteered to port it On my plate is updating the RideWithGPS tapiriik plugin that I *did* write to support the new stationary activity API.

Likewise, I don’t plan to join if it requires separate upload.

I’d forgotten we had separate categories for men and women on this one. I think I may be close to the top on the women’s one, if only because I had the most to lose in the first place. However, it looks like my teammate acl was the overall winner.

I wasn’t too careful looking back through the thread, but I think my 4% loss was still at the top for men. I’m as surprised as you (especially because I didn’t really try very hard).

[cvcalhoun]

Sigh! How about actually giving yourself time to heal, so you don’t make this worse?

Driving is so bad. So so so so bad. Especially on days like this. Silver lining is I can feel the sun and warm air ACTUALLY HEALING my clavicle. It’s SCIENCE.

Doc says two more weeks, but everyone knows metric system conversion makes that really 4 days.

If I recall, this side bet was going to be won by the photo that receives the most Likes and Elites. So if you haven’t voted, you can still go back through the photos and Like your favorites. I’m not sure if Mikey has a cutoff date for voting.

Actually, Mikey said it was to be determined by the end of February. Has this changed?

@Mikey 77235 wrote:

Since FSSB #4 was a bust, its time to move on. FSSB #5 will be quick and easy. Post a photo capturing the essence of Freezing saddles and post it here. The impending snow storm should help set the scene, especially since this should be good snowman snow. The winning shot is the one earning the most points by the end of February. Likes are worth 2pts, dislike are -1, and ELITES are worth 3 points. So go out there and get some good freezing saddles pictures. The prize will include use if your photo for the advertisement for FS 2015, and eternal fame and glory.

Thank you for posting that. I ride that trail every Thursday. And while others have been merrily posting about how all the trails are now just fine, I’ve felt very lonely in my slipping, sliding, and getting thrown one way and the other by deep ruts in the trail. At least now I have company in my misery!

Georgetown Branch Trail has moved from “frozen ruts of death” to “muddy fishtails of fun”. What a wonderful commute today!

I can’t join this team, because I’m already on another one, but I’ve definitely noticed the bugginess. The site regularly moves any miles ridden on a Sunday to the following Monday. It logs me out frequently and unpredictably in the midst of moving from one page to another on the site. It does not show who is on my own team, much less provide any breakdown of miles contributed. It requires numerous clicks to get from the front page to such basic things as the calendar showing how many miles I’ve ridden. On the profile page, the calendar shows that I have ridden only 1 day/1 mile, but if I click on the arrow to go back to the preceding month, it suddenly shows me that this month, I’ve ridden 13 days/258 miles. I’m really hoping they get this all fixed before the competition starts, or the competition isn’t going to be a lot of fun.

It looks like I joined. The site seems super buggy right now… it took a couple tries to create an account and once or twice for it to successfully acknowledge I’d joined the team. Anyway, I’m in… thanks!
