cyclechat/endomondo challenge

[BenScoobert]

I thought it might be a good idea to start a forum challenge to spur those of us that are exercising to lose weight into pushing a little harder.

Here is a link to the August challenge, I'll create a new one every month.

Winner is most calories burned by cycling in a month.

Let me know if the link works

The software is free, all you need is a GPS tracker which most phones have these days

only 1 taker?

i only get out on the bike occasionally at the mo (new baby in the house and all that), but it tends to be 30km+ when i do, so i'm not sure i would make any reasonable comparison.

i'll have a go anyway though, just for fun…

great, the more the merrier, I'm just getting to the 30km area and we have baby due in 6 weeks!!!! I wonder if my riding will suffer, booked nearly 7 weeks off work for when he's born

Can you change it to be any sport, as my commutes are always marked as cycling, transportation.

congrat. ime you don't get out as often as you end up having to cover what mrs benscoobert can't do due to feeding baby etc as well as doing some of the baby stuff yourself.

you'll probably get called all sorts if you leave a tired wife at home with a screaming baby while you go out for a ride. don't ask me how i know that

Lovely, thanks. I'm now in 3rd place!

Looks like there are 2 cyclechat teams - we should amalgamate them into 1.

I didn't know about that 1, I searched the forum for endomondo before and nothing showed up, maybe to do with the new forum software

I might join in... If I can figure it out!

I think I've joined, but I'm not listed in the ranking although I've uploaded data from my Garmin for this month. Do I have to be authorized or something?

...And of course, as soon as I press "send" here, I suddenly appear on the ranking there! I suspect someone pressed a button somewhere (he says, technically!).

tried to import from the Garmin Ben, but it says:

"UnsupportedDataTypeException: Your device does not support reading of the type: FitnessHistoryDirectory"

Something to do with how the Garmin's operate, so I will have to wait till the website supports it properly.
