2013 ACF Commuting Challenge (AT) Endomondo

[gretaboy]

Ok since it seemed like noone else had created an Endomondo challenge or any other such challenge for us commuters I have created one on Endomondo. I know there was talk about using other sites like strava or such but since no one has actually done anything I thought I may as well set something up...I need something to push me.

Same deal as 2012...pure commuting kilometres and challenge is from 00:01 01/01/2013 - 23:59 31/12/2013

Well, I'm already eating your dust, gretaboy .

Tailwind...with your consistency I know I have to put a lead on you as much as I can as soon as I can in order to have any chance....the 1000/1500 lead you got on me last year was simply too much to reel in

##EDIT: I am hoping to put in close to 2k in commuting for Jan, if all goes well.

I only did 145 days last year, just counted them....lots of room for me to improve there.

Hey gretaboy, not sure if I'll still be riding in 90 years' time...maybe with electric assist, haha

[gretaboy]

good to see the number of participants rising in this

[westab]

Thanks for setting this up Gretaboy - back to work next week and hope to try for the first page again. Hope 5000kms is enough to get this.

Happy New year to all - looking forward to the challenge.

[Mugglechops]

Good luck this year guys.

I will not be joining this year

Still mulling this over, recording rides at 3 sites seems excessive.

mate you just need to make those long 200k + rides on the weekend into a commute lol

endomondo is taking a lot longer to include my rides in the challenge. seems to be ~12 hours behind. simonn's seems to be up to date.

I find that if you get the rides in before 9/9:30 or so they get updated pretty quickly...after that it seems to take a long time before it gets updated again
