National Bike Challenge-Syncing Rides

In response to several people at BAFS Happy Hour tonight, here is how to participate in National Bike Challenge without having to upload to multiple places.

FitnessSyncer is a free service that will take your data from any of the following sources, and sync it to MapMyFitness, which is one of the apps that National Bike Challenge can pick up:

• FitBit
• Garmin Connect
• Microsoft® HealthVault™
• RunKeeper
• Nike Fuel
• Jawbone UP
• Strava
• Training Peaks
• Comma Separated Files (CSV) import from DropBox

You only need to set it up once, which you can do at this link, and it will sync each new activity as it occurs. The only tricky bit is that FitnessSyncer takes a little while to sync. So if you go to MapMyFitness and see that it hasn’t synced yet, don’t upload the data to MapMyFitness as well. If you do, once FitnessSyncer syncs, you’ll end up with duplicates of every activity. Don’t ask me how I know this!
