Endomondo monthly challenge and tandems

[LinkoVitch]

Hi,
I have been involved in the CycleChat Endomondo Challenge for a couple of months (it's the reason I joined the forum ) and I was after people's thoughts...

I am mainly riding solo, mainly commute to work, with a (now in the minority) fitness rides too, which is all well and good. However I have clocked up a few rides with the good lady on the tandem also, these have pretty much replaced my solo fitness rides. I have logged them into Endomondo with my Garmin, but have flagged them to not be included in the stats as I thought it would screw up my own PBs and stats.

Now, I am wondering if I should switch this, for a start Endo tracks commuting and fitness rides separately (for me anyway ), and I am putting in just as much effort on the tandem as I do on my solo bike, so would including them in my stats be kinda cheating/false, or should I consider them as valid stats?

Thoughts please

If you are on a bike sounds fine to me, valid stat in my book.

 

[Panter]

As above, perfectly valid


Edit: Nice that you found the forum through Endo, rather than the other way around! I did put the CC forum link on there this Month, sounds as if that needs to be ongoing

Didn't I tell you this a month ago Graeme?

Surprised you need to ask Cycling is Cycling, the only line I personally draw is it has to be outside and moving!

As long as it isn't on a turbo tandem miles.

 

[LinkoVitch]

Oh no, these are real, on the road shouting at idiot driver miles Complete with the odd chain of solo's enjoying a bit of a draft (draught? or is that purely at the pub afterwards? )

Totally m8, miles on any wheeled item counts unless its motorised.
that is of course unless you've disconnected the chain from your bit of the tandem
