2012 ACF Commuting Challenge (AT) Endomondo

Postby Livetoride » Mon Dec 19, 2011 2:02 pm

Well this year is nearly finished and it's been good fun with the commuter cup challenge so we're going again for 2012. Its simple to join, just put your hand up in here and join Endomondo. Its a free membership based site that allows you to log your rides through your phone (via a free app) or garmin. You can either log your commuter rides by using Endomondo (which logs it automatically for you) on your phone or garmin or log them manually.

Endomondo provides a number of different data analysis points including split times (e.g., by the kilometre) so you can see how fast you where each kilometre of the ride, what your fastest kilometre was, your slowest and so on. There is other data analysis available as well.

Please only log your commuting rides rather than your sporting rides.

Start date - 01-01-2012

Just for some clarification, you can log sporting rides in Endomondo because this competition only counts the value of "Cycling, Transport" in the "Sport" field.

Yup you can log both sporting and transport rides on Endomondo but for this challenge you can only log your cycling transport rides.

FTFY. Sorry, I am being a pedant, but I had this discussion with another member when this year started and it was pointed out I logged an Audax ride on Endomondo and I had to explain how it all works.

You can log whatever you want to Endomondo - but if you enter the challenge, you need to keep in mind the 'Cycling Transport' workout description affects these results.
IMO, a touring ride would indeed count as 'Cycling -Transport'. AUDAX however, is a competition and perhaps 'Cycling Sport'.

EDIT: typos, poorly writen lines... :roll:

I might give it a miss next year - currently using strava & endomondo, but I think I'd prefer to use just one site for tracking, and strava's my current preference :)

I'll be joining the challenge - Thanks for doing this LTR. I also will not be back at work till the 16th but will be doing some commutes to swimming training with my daughter and to the shops as well.

Also just one other note - I don't have a bike computer / smart phone witha GPS but I can log my rides manually (usually weekly) using Endomondo - it's easy so please don't be put off is this is an issue for you.

See you out there. :D
Not fast, no style, but still get there.

Great idea - could you please give me the adress for your local servo - I might ride from Sydney to ensure you don't have to do it alone. Will that count as a "commute" :roll: :? :roll: :wink:

If you really want to - sure...
It's about 'transport', not just commuting... this is what I read in the 2011 thread anyway.

Too True my mistake :oops: Also will not have a machine available - Repco Superlite rebuild not yet complete - Cell Blade gets stripped overnight (while I comfort our frightened dog from the fireworks) ready for a service the next day.

What if I go for a long ride and check my work email, when stopped for a brake ? That's a commute, right ? RIGHT ???
