Seeing that team three has just been filled up, is there enough interest out there for a fourth team?

Well then if Team 2 is filled; then I'll jump in with Team 3 at #321 :-D

Been away for a few days, many thanks for the dossard.

I am going to be a way most of next week, but, will get the miles in later I promise.

oh - and one slight change from last time - this time, if you have more than one ride in the same day, enter the total amount of distance, altitude gain and time, then just show the separate links to the GPS logs - adding 2 rides a day for you commuters is do-able - adding 2 rides a day together for maybe 10 people every day for 21 days wears a little thin :laugh:

That's me told :blushing:

:laugh:

And me...

TBY...if I want to keep my Strava in English...not this socialist one-world government metric format you speak of , is that cool? It's doable to change but I have all my personal tracking stuff in English and the last tour muffed me up a bit.

I'll be logging on Garmin Connect - should I submit the elevation numbers with the correction enabled or not? - or as the machine spews it out?

I normally submit the "as recorded", though I do a "reality check" between the two, the recorded figure should always be higher than the "corrected", because the "corrected" works to the granularity of the contour lines of the areas mapping - in the uk that's 10m - so anything under 10m up or down doesn't register whereas the barometric recording works at 1ft intervals, BUT can get seriously mixed up if you are riding into a gusty headwind - I had one route, which I did on consecutive weekends, identical distance but one registered as 1100m of ascent, the other over 1600m... only difference was the 1600m route was ridden in 10mph gusting to 40mph whereas the 1100m was ridden in 2-3mph gentle constant breeze...

so, in short - if the as recorded seems stupidly high, or a lot higher than the same ride on other days, submit the corrected version - otherwise, submit the recorded one - those 9m up and down rollers can knock it out of you if you do lots of 'em :laugh:

well - for the purposes of the logging, I need the distance in Km and altitude gain in Metres, so you may find it simpler to switch your settings on Strava or Garmin Connect to that for the duration - I have my personal settings that way all the time, so whatever I view in those programs shows ME the details in that format, so if you wish to keep your settings on imperial measures for your own purposes, and just "do the math" yourself thats fine - however, as I say, declarations have to be in the correct form - if you declare in miles or feet, you'll get a "null" for that day

I'm not being stroppy or awkward - it's just that

a) it's a continental themed challenge,
b) rule #24 and
c) I'm not prepared to do conversions for 20-odd people, for 21 days worth of logging... it takes enough time as it is!

So - being metrically challenged tvcjosh, do I take it your a Septic as well ? Because if that's the case...




... here's your Dossard Monsieur Team #2 Captain - Sur La Plaque
