My ride from yesterday didn’t post… help!

[jrenaut]

We’ve been getting a lot of support requests for this issue. It’s all because of the way hozn did the backend sync. Your ride loads to freezingsaddles.org in one of two ways.

1) It loads immediately when freezingsaddles.org receives a webhook from Strava
2) It loads at some point in the next 24 hours when freezingsaddles.org goes through and grabs all the rides that didn’t load immediately.

This is all to reduce the number of times we have to ask Strava for data. They get mad if we ask too much and we risk getting cut off completely.

So, if you have a ride that didn’t load:
1) Make sure it’s on Strava
2) Wait 24 hours
3) If it STILL hasn’t loaded, contact me or hozn.

Edit to add: I realize this sounds like I’m blaming hozn. I’m not. The work he did on the backend is fantastic. The real problem is that a ride is a fair bit of data, so pulling them from Strava is non-trivial. The way hozn did the sync means we ask much less of Strava’s webservers, and that makes them happy.

hozn being awesome and blaming him are not mutually exclusive

Thanks, yesterday’s Strava ride now posted on BAFS. I did wait 12 hours to post issue here and appreciate the awesomeness of all involved. Of course my two short rides logged on Strava this morning have NOT showed up on BAFS. Again, this is unusual since typically my Strava rides appear on BAFS almost immediately. Maybe something is tweaked?

Interestingly enough, this morning’s ride on Strava did not post to FS for over 6 hours. I went to the ride file on Strava, added #bafs2018 to the ride name, and saved the rides on Strava… almost immediately the 2 rides appeared on the FS page.

OK … my (just after) midnight sleaze ride today has yet to post to Freezing Saddles. I’m blaming both hozn and jrenaut.

The failure to log Strava rides on FS is widespread today… Spot check: six riders on my team have valid Strava rides today, but do not post on FS.

And this obviates you from blame how???

My team is the opposite. Other teammates who rode have their rides posted, but not me. Again, I’m blaming both hozn and jrenaut.

Because I wrote the steps.

Yeah, I’ve been especially busy so I just saw this now. The webhook server stopped for no apparent reason (I’ve added that to my uptime-robot checks now), which is why rides were not showing up right away. Everyone’s rides get sync’d within 24 hours — spread throughout the day.

The webhook server is running again and being monitored now. And hopefully by now most, if not all, athletes have had their rides fully re-synchronized.

See, it was hozn’s fault. Also see step 2.
