Why do you have to do this in meters? Mine always comes up on feet.Cat With No Tail wrote:Total Elevation Gain for June
Cat With No Tail - 5254m
YeeHaaMcGee- 2938m
Anyway. Bit of a crap month for me on account of riding with a group of new riders a few times, and smashing myself up pretty badly nearly a fortnight ago.0 -
Hmmm, I do it in meters because that's just the default display on mine. I assumed they all were.
Does your total distance come up in Miles then Yeehaa? It'd be odd if it was recording distance in KM but elevation in ft :?0 -
Yeah mine comes up in miles and feet. Being as we're in the UK and that ;-)0

Here here! Always used to make me chuckle that steerer tubes are marked 1.125"x250mm0
-
You know the weridest measurement ever?
Camera sensors.
I was readin on ArsTechnica.com the other day about a new compact camera with interchangeable lenses, and it was said to have a 1/2.33" sensor.
A WHAT sized sensor? :? :?0 -

EDIT - (stupid question! :oops: ) Anyway, not a very reliable source since Endomondo uses internal "charts" for calculating altitude instead of the barometer data...0 -
Endomondo uses GPS to calculate altitude. Which is not particularly accurate. Sit on a mountainside waiting fo rthe sun to set and keep an eye on a GPS, it will fluctuate wildly in altitude whilst remaining fairly stationary in location. I don't understand why.
Anyway, that's why the Garmin units have a Barometer, to increase accuracy of the altitude readings.0 -
I once noticed that the total elevation one of my rides in Garmin Connect was about the double of Endomondo. I like to think that Endomondo is the wrong one...

Endomondo definitely gets it wrong. On my ride to/from work, it has occasionally claimed that I was up to 80 feet below sea level 0

Congratulations to this month's winners. Of special note are the "warp factor" winners, with some absolutely incredible times, I'm sure you'll agree.
So, they managed to cover a mile, with an average speed of... (fanfare)-
Darren: incalculably fast
Ricardo: 3600 mph
Mike: 900mph
Martin: 900mph
Bill: 45.6mph
El Cap: 34mph
CWNT: 31.6mph
Mark: 28mph
Njee: 27.9mph
Donnie: 23.8mph
Impressive stuff indeed.
Right - that should be correct now. Damn you CWNT and your feet/meters nonsense. I'd worked all these out, then divided by 0.62 to get mph, without realising that it was in miles in the first place 0 -
Do I get bonus points for keeping just under the limit when i forgot to switch off the GPS after a ride on the chase :?:
0 -
I did a 10 mile TT on Tuesday at an average speed of 21.8, so it looks like it's not pulled my quickest mile out in that case. :?0

Errrrrm :?
Hate to say it, but I think maybe you need to re-check those numbers fella.
Darren 0m:00s
Ricardo 0m:01s
Mike 0m:04s
Martin 0m:04s
Bill 1m:19s
El Cap 1m:45s
CWNT 1m:54s
Bails 2m:07s
Njee 2m:09s
Donnie 2m:31s0 -
Possibly yes, it was quickly thrown together. What have I got wrong?
EDIT:
Ah! For some reason I've taken them as fastest kilometre, then changed them into mph! Plonker!
Right, correct figures coming up (I'll edit my post).
EDIT:there, fixed.0 -
I think Darren invented the teleportation! (probably is slowly turning into a giant human fly by now! :? )
1 mile in 1 second? Damn I'm fast! 0 -
I was thinking I'd done ok with a 22mph mile, on the wolf ridge, on the flat (this month), but then I saw how fast you guys were doing 0
-
Fair play to Bill - assuming that's genuine rather than in the back of the car, that's a decent descent!0
-
@njee.
I did admit further up the thread that I had forgotten to switch off when i was driving back 8) 8)0 -
Does anyone else see this months 'fastest mile' displaying a distance (in km for me, yes I know boo his) rather than a time ?0
-
If it was displaying distance, then wouldn't "fastest mile" always show 1.6km (ish)?0
-
But rather than the leaderboards showing times, its showing distance. So currently for 'Crudcatcher Warp Speed Challenge (Fastest Mile)' I've got CWNT in the lead with 23km.0
-
Oh yeah, I see!
haha! Man alive Endomondo is badly made
It occasionally totally forgets every workout from a particular week, or month, then a few days later, they've reappeared again too.0 -
I don't think I've got all my rides totalled for June either, I seem to recall seeing I'd done about 304 miles or something, when my Garmin shows about 390.0
-
I find it fascinating how I can do the same exact 9-ish mile ride to and from work several days in a row, and computer on the bike shows a deviation of +/- 0.3 miles, yet Endomondo suggests it's +/- 2.5 miles
0.3 miles over that distance I can understand - different lines round lots of corners, avoiding parked cars, people, etc etc. but 2.5 miles? Erm... I don't think so!0 -
So basically it's a bit shonky!0
-
Sorry, that's my fault. I *named* it fastest mile, but didn't actually set it to record fastest mile. It was still recording distance.
Changed it now 0 -
We should run the country! We may make mistakes, but at least we own upCat With No Tail wrote:Sorry, that's my fault. I *named* it fastest mile, but didn't actually set it to record fastest mile. It was still recording distance.

In that case, I admit it, I just farted and blamed it on one of the kids 0 -
Seems the usual culprits have gone off the boil this month or enthusiasm is waning - or is El Cap gonna upload his 1000 mile month on the 31st?!0
