    Hi folks –

    I’ve gone ahead and pushed out a new version of the Freezing Saddles scoreboard / data analysis application. Most of the guts are the same, though the Strava API library had to be rewritten (since their new API is very different). Also, the site layout looks much different (better), thanks to jrenaut!

    At this point we don’t have teams yet (it’s just configured for the single “BikeArlington” club), so there’s really no data, but if you’d like to help us iron out bugs, please go ahead and authorize this app to read your Strava data!

    http://freezingsaddles.com/authorize

    Once we have some more authorization tokens (i.e. the auth codes we get when you allow this app to read your data), we can work out any bugs related to ride synchronization. And once we have more data, we can start building out a few of the other pages we want to create. (E.g. we’ll have a text-only scoreboard reminiscent of ronwalf’s from last year with clickable links; the Google charts are cool, but not so useful for drilling down to Strava club or athlete pages, etc.)

    Any feedback appreciated, of course. :)

    And when the mechanics are working smoothly I’ll turn my attention back to developing some cool branding.

    I love this chart, reminds me of a star comparsion chart. Hans – can you animate this starting from Jan 1? That would be so cool.

    Thanks! I love that chart too. In general, I think data visualization is fascinating and appreciated the opportunity to deviate beyond a bar chart for this one :) I don’t know if Google Charts makes it possible to animate, but I agree that would be awesome. I will look into it.

    I put on both gloves, then start my phone and Strava with my nose. Yes, I trained my iPhone 5s to recognize my nose print.

    Ok, not really.

    I answer my I phone by swiping it with my nose. Too lazy to stop riding and pull a glove off.

    It appears Dirt should reach the summit of Mt. Everest soon.

    Hans, do you pull daily precipitation totals? A chart for number of riders vs. daily precipitation would be one I would like to see.

    -2,084.3% grade sounds seriously scary. But the 40k feet of elevation gain in .2 miles sounds like an intense climb.

    This must be what happens when you take a GPS on one of these:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]4496[/ATTACH]

    Which makes me think this activity should have been tagged #NOBAFS.

    It’s funny that Strava lets that kind of ridiculous elevation data through w/o question b/c it’s from a unit w/ a barometric altimeter, yet its algorithms decrease my elevation gain over one of my standard AM commute routes of around 7.5 miles to zero. (track from an eTrex 20 track w/o altimeter) I mean, that route is flat, but there are overpasses, bridges, and a couple small hills, like 15th St from the Tidal Basin towards Independence along that route, so gain is certainly not zero. Oddly enough, the exact same route recorded on my phone yields 75-100 ft elevation gain after it’s processed by Strava.

    Google has motion charts!

    hozn, thanks for all of your hard work.

    Not to nit-pick, but I noticed that my score is off 17 days +226 and I have 386 points. Shouldn’t that be 396? Did I screw up an entry somewhere?

    I think we are going to have to start charging $1 for every request to Honz. We could make him a very rich man.

    Wouldn’t that go to buy beer at the awards ceremony?

    On a more serious note (yeah sure), I have been trying to come up with a completely off the wall request to make this even more pointless.
