I can provide you/someone with activity IDs if they want to generate heat maps or look into how this is done.

Is that easy or hard? Basically, I want an easy way to figure out my “around the country” and “around the world” prizes. Alternately, I could ask people to self-submit and then check. Happy to learn how to do it, thank you!

I don’t know. I have never made a Strava heat map. But you are welcome to research it

Oh, thanks! Except I wish I could look at the entire FS community’s Strava rides. HMM….

If someone wants to tackle that, I will expose the API to return GPX for the routes.

With the increase in number of participants, it’s no longer possible for most of us (well, me) to find ourselves on one of my favorite charts: http://freezingsaddles.com/explore/indiv_elev_dist

Would it be a difficult change to have your own bubble appear on top when you are logged in?

I’ve been riding up a bunch of extra hills in an attempt to move my bubble above the crowd. Getting close.

Tried that.

Nearly as I can tell, I’d have to do nothing but ride up and down this hill for the rest of the winter to move up past IanB who has 234 miles to my 238, but over 16K ft of climbing. How is this even possible?

Yeah, the data looks accurate for IanB. He was riding some mountains, I guess!

As for the chart, there’s no easy way [that I am aware of] to specify order/z-layer of the bubbles, or even color. But I acknowledge that it’s a lot less usable than it used to be. We could probably provide some filtering (e.g. show me just my team, etc.). We’re also switching over [slowly, amidst other tasks] to Highcharts for the charts, which might make it easier to tweak the display of the data.

I just sent hozn some code that may make it possible to push your bubble to the forefront automatically. In the meantime, I’ve created a bookmarklet that does the same job that you could try if you’re feeling brave.

Just go to this URL:

http://mizook.com/bubble.asp?u=
For Example: http://mizook.com/bubble.asp?u=Chris+Sl

and drag the link that appears into your bookmarks. Then go to the altitude chart as you usually would & click your new bookmark. It should pop your bubble to the front.

Man, this chris_s guy is making a liar out of me. Just kidding; I am super grateful for the help. (I will work to get that incorporated, though might wait for the highcharts version of the graph.)
