    It’s back on Endomondo, everyone’s favorite tracking site. ;) It runs a month longer this year, May 1 to September 30.

    Maybe we can set up a team of the top ten riders from Freezing Saddles and make a run for the podium?

    Two points.

    1 – no bonus points for Mikey. Just because.

    2 – Gainesville has 3.06 times the members than BA (208 vs 68) and only 1.91 times the points (264417 vs 138590)

    Additional stats this evening.

    On the Weather Channel they were interviewing pedicabbers in NYC’s Central Park. They said in this heat they are charging $3-5 per minute!

    Many NYC pedicabs are rather disreputable, and charge $3-5 bucks per person per block, even in nice weather. DC’s bike taxi riders seem much more honest. Everyone I know including me charge about $1 per minute, and we were charging the same yesterday. I was charging a flat rate from air and space to the Lincoln or Lincoln to the mall $30 for 2 to 4 people. At one point I think I was the only moron out at the hottest part of the day.

    I took a small vacation over Fourth of July weekend. I mountain biked 4 days, and on the fifth day, horrors, I didn’t ride at all. I flew home that morning, built a wheel that afternoon, and I could have gone for a bike ride that evening, but I drank beer while building the wheel. I wasn’t drunk but I wasn’t motivated to ride. It was getting late. So I fell from 42nd to 53rd place nationally. Since then, I’ve been riding my ass off and I’ve clawed my way back up to 52nd place. :)

    Congrats to the new platinum level riders, especially Katherine, Ann and Karen who join teammates Megan and Cyndi, BikeArlington women riders to reach this milestone.

    Just looked at the stats. Based on the self-reported (with all of the possible caveats about self-reported data) information about the types of rides, the BA All Stars are near the top!

    NBCCommute30Jul_zpsc6ebd2b9.jpg

    This graphic shows the distribution between transport, sport and mountain biking reported by the teams. The blue (bottom) bar represents commuting and utility rides. While our friends in Santa Monica lead the pack, we are fourth in the top 10 for percent transport miles.

    Another thing – there are only three top ten teams that have no members that haven’t racked up any points. Yes, even the mighty (large) Gainesville team has members that haven’t logged any miles. That might be a strategy of those teams to keep some bench strength for the final push or maybe there are some that dislike endomondo even more than some on our team.

    All in all, great work and keep riding.

    Sorry to screw with your stats Dana but I never differentiate my ride types…. I list all of them as “Sport” for simplicity even though the majority of them are commuting…. sorry!

    Oops. Me too. I do the opposite. and the opposite of that- I always leave it on cycling transportation. But then sometimes I get out my CAT6 license mid-ride, and get sporty. It’s such a pain to switch on endo mid-ride though.

    Tapiriik imports everything from Strava as “sport” so I’m there too.

    Yeah, same here. all my Garmin imports default to ‘sport’ and i never found a way to change the defaults.

    I wasn’t even aware that we are supposed to differentiate. I think mine has always defaulted to transport.

    Mine seems to default to “sport” but I don’t even know where to change it, other than manually editing every ride, which I’m not going to do. I upload to Strava every day, but I only dump my rides into Endomondo once a week or so, so it’s a lot of rides.
