Steve O. doesn’t usually upload his rides daily. So Team V is probably 40+ pts behind. Oh and JDAntos just logged another 30 miles.

Justin is a beast!

Your team is even crazier than ours. Just.

No no, I think the Special Team 5 Cutoff is definitely more like 9:45, maybe even later . Team 5, feel free to wait until super late on Wednesday to upload everything.

I vote we rename the contest to Saddle the Wind

My 9:30 pm deadlines has to do with my bed time. Figured I would turn on the computer – take a screen capture at 9:30 – make the announcement (because I am hoping that at least the first place team will come to Phoenix Bikes event).

You better make sure the cache is cleaned before the final tally. You would not want to tempt me to stoop to any shenanigans to ensure victory for Team V.:rolleyes:

Well, the extended forcast after tomorrow is wet until the closing day. I’m looking forward to having lots of drenched company.

Might be time for me to get some rain pants.

Looks like it already started. A sudden 3000-point lead seems awfully suspicious.

Sorry, I jacked the leaderboard to emphasize this point. If the cache isn’t cleared before the final tally, it can lead to intentional or, perhaps, unintentional manipulation. If you correct an upload on the last day, it may be double counted. This unintentional manipulation can be fixed by clearing the cache.

What I did was manually upload a 3000 mile ride and let the leaderboard cycle through. Then I deleted the ride. Tada… no fingerprints (well except that my name is all over it.)

To get the true results, just subtract 3010 from my score and Team V’s. (I don’t know why I got an extra day.) Everything should return to normal after the cache is cleared in the middle of the night (if not sooner).

You seem to have gotten an extra two days. You’re at 76, and the rest of us are maxed at 74.

I think what might be happening is if you upload a ride with a different date, it counts as an extra day riding. It took our lunch ride and added another 10 point daily bonus.

It was nice chuckling about this at lunch laps at HP, but then even better to see the outrage when I got back to my desk this afternoon.

well played sir
