    Nah, I mean the route it tracks is accurate to the meter, sorry didn't explain it very well. What I meant was when I get home to check how slow I went, it gets it pretty much spot on.
    er... I don't want to get into a maths/engineering debate, so... Just think REALLY hard about what you just said (and bear in mind GPS has a tolerance of something like 32 feet even in ideal conditions)

    Hahahahaha, top spot by a whopping 2km.

    I can hear mike firing up his turbo trainer from here.

    Not done any riding today and probably won't tomorrow. Having a couple of days rest before starting to crank up the miles. March = 500 miles, April = 600 miles, so May has just got to be 700...

    I did 40 (MTB) miles in the Gorrick Enduro, CBA to spend weeks waiting for Endomondo to upload the files though! Sort of leading :-)

    I did 16 miles at the long mynd yesterday, it's only showing as 13 because the GPS turned itself off/didn't turn on in the first place.

    F@#k me it was hard work, so I'm going to add those 3 miles manually!
    MTB/CX

    Waiting for the nice man that has my broken rear wheel to phone and say it's ready to collect so I can actually get on the board.
    Folks have already said it but +1 thanks to CWNT for starting this off, never gonna get top but it's a good motivator to get out and ride.

    This month's account has been opened...

    'kin stupidly strong winds here though. Very hard work - HR peaked at 227bpm! :shock:

    Back on the commute tomorrow so can start building up my total. :D

    How do i join up? Clocked 42km today and it seems really good for motivation, im on as Martin Warburton on Endomondo cheers
    What if your dreams and fears existed in the same place? What if to get to heaven, you had to brave hell? What if everything you've ever wanted cost you everything you've ever achieved? Would you still go there?

    Hi Martin,

    Saw your request to join team crudcatcher earlier, didn't add you though as I didn't recognize the name.

    I've added you to the team now (just so you'll receive invitations to the future challenges).

    If you go ahead and accept my friend request thing I'll invite you into the challenge now.

    Oh by the way, I notice you logged the distance today as Mountain Biking. Unfortunately, because of the way the challenge is configured, you'll need to change that to "Cycling, Sport" for it to be added to your total. It's easy to do though.

    I'm still trying to figure out a way for it to accept all types of cycling without adding stuff like walking or kayaking or whatever. If anyone else knows how to do this, please do let me know.

    Matt

    I don't! Thing is I'm back to work tomorrow and the little one's back to school, El Cap gets to ride a decent amount to work, it's just not fair! Waaaah!

    Hmm, I was looking through my stats for April, and Endomondo seems to completely ignore a large amount of riding for some reason.
    Anyone else seen anything like this? I know for a fact they used to show up. :?

    For example, in the statistics page, it shows that I only did 39.82 miles in April, but in the list view, they're all there. Very odd.

    What statistics are you looking at? Do you mean the bar chart that shows "Total Training Overview"?

    When I go into it, it shows that one broken down into weekly totals, but when I click on the monthly view, it seems to come up with the right figures.

    Fnar fnar... You can add another 14 miles to my total for this morning's commute and probably another 15 or so for the ride home... :D

    Someone please find El Cap and break his legs. If you could do the same to Shayne while you're at it, bonus points will be awarded.

    :lol:

    :shock:

    But I've got to do at least 22.6 miles a day to break the 700 mile barrier! And, after last month's challenge, to beat Shayne (and win), I'm going to have to put in that sort of total.

    I think 700 miles in a month and my legs would actually explode.
    That said, going to obviously try and get as high as possible (on the leaderboard rather than heroin) this month.

    How many bonus points? :lol:

    I honestly dont think breaking his legs would work. I think he'd just go out and buy one of those hand cycle things and STILL own everyone!

    I think my intentions for this month have been stated already...

    Nah, only kidding I'm shagged! If I can make it over the 1000KM (622 Miles) barrier this month which is my target I'll be a very happy MIke.

    It's ok, it's working again now, oddly. It was those stats though, and there was a ton of stuff missing - that's magically returned.

    I'm moving house on Friday, so suspect that'll take me out for a while! 35 miles on the commute today.

    Bad start for me this month. I've been away for a week with no bike :(

    Hopefully it'll be a top 10 for me this month, I'm aiming for over 200 miles for the month!

    Not spent nearly enough time on the bike this week. And will not be touching it all weekend either. :cry:
