Hi David, have you got a direct link or the exact title of your challenge ? I'll be happy to join in .

Just call me Chris...
David's challenge is here

Generally, where are the monthly challenges for cycle chat publicised? I missed the December Challenge - only realised it was on when it appeared in my feed at the end of the month! I haven't found the January one yet.

I put one up yesterday, there should be a link in my signature. They don't really gut publicized as such, although BenB will sometimes post if he's done one.
If it's me that sets it up then I just invite anyone in my friends list although anyone is free to join.

I think there was one for every Month last Year, and there will be for this Year too so please feel free to join in

Loving endomondo - I never thought I'd be into the social aspects of it, but it's wonderful. Competing against friends and strangers is very motivating.

I've challenged a friend in Australia to a month long challenge - I'm leading currenty - and because of the time difference, while I am out cycling, she is at home on the computer. While I was out for a long ride on the 2 January, a robot voice spoke to me "Message from Pam: Stop cycling". Made me laugh aloud.

I am enjoying Endomondo as well, brings out my competitive nature. I also enjoy Strava for the segments they really get my HR up, althoguh not had one KOM, but seeing a Personal Best on a decent climb pop up is quite enjoyable.

I love Endomondo for keeping track of what I've been upto, but I'm starting to believe the challenges are a moot point as I suspect some people are not being entirely honest with their statistics.

Yeah agree some of the worldwide stats are incredible if you take them at face value, although if stats are being made up I really cannot see what motivates them to do it, seems completely pointless excercise

Oh and on Strava there has been some conversation of people doing it on motorized transport to get some of KOM's which is even more annoying as they stay in that segment as leader for all time.

I do honestly believe some form of motorised transport is being used which is as you say pointless as the only person they cheat is themselves.

Ah well, its the same old same old rearing its ugly head again, this isn't the first and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last either. It just a shame that the actions of the few always spoil it for the many.
