MapMyRide is working some of the time for some people right now. My ride this morning, for example, got picked up almost immediately on NBC. But I’ve had other rides not sync for as long as 3 days. And some people haven’t had it sync at all.

Believe me, I share your frustration with the site! I’m administrator for a team, a league, a workplace, and a school. I’m also a rider myself, and spent some time trying to make sure that Marylanders weren’t left out of all the local challenges. I feel like I’ve spent more time on the NBC support forum than I have actually cycling!

Some of us really, really appreciate your hard work on this!!!! It’s a thankless job, I know.

I just joined. I’ll be manually entering my miles.

MapMyRide should now be syncing for everyone. If it is not, go to “My Account,” and try to reauthorize it. For some reason, it seems to have unauthorized itself for some people, and reauthorizing is fixing the problem.

Thanks for the heads up. Just reauthorized MMR and everything seems to be working swimmingly again.

Ok, joined the team. Of course I click the FABB local and recognize some of the names knowing full well that there is 0 chance I will catch any of them.

MMR is still not working for me…In fact, it appears to have deleted a number of rides I had in there . I’m about to give up and start manually logging my miles.

Question–if I start manually logging my miles and then MMR suddenly starts working, can I remove my manually logged miles? I don’t want to accidentally double-count trips.

Believe me, I share your frustration with this! I’ve now had to reauthorize mine several times. And it seems to be so variable from one person to another, that I don’t even know how we will know when it is really fixed. Do be sure to report the problem on the support forum, as deleting miles is not a problem previously reported, and they need to know about it.

As to your specific question, my understanding is that it is possible to delete manually entered miles. If you click on the day on your calendar, an option for “Clear miles” should come up. I cannot test this myself, as I don’t enter miles manually, but people on the support forum are saying it works.

Alternatively, you can enter a ride for the day with a negative number of miles, to balance out the “extra” ride. Just use the – sign before the number of miles.

Tell me about it! Before I found this forum, I always thought of the twice a week bicycling, for a total of 30 miles a week, as a lot. Since then, I’ve had weeks when I rode over 100 miles–only to find that one of my teammates had exceeded that in a single day’s cycling. About the only area in which I have any hope of being competitive is in the workplace statistics–and then only because my single-person workplace is guaranteed to have 100% participation.

However, all those insane cyclists on our team are so far keeping it at #1 nationally. And of course, the way the prize structure works, you can get prizes even if you aren’t one of the top riders.

This is definitely a tough bunch to keep up with. The miles some of you stack up is astounding! We’re in second place right now. SUPER close to Gainesville, with around 30 fewer riders. GO ALL STARS!

Thanks so much for alerting us to this! It was the only way I could get the system to stop double counting my miles on May 1 despite how many times I synced with Endomondo.

Good thing this contest is free!

FWIW, syncing working perfectly for me (using Endomondo), even when I’ve gone in and edited my Endomondo rides. Also, the site got a nice shout out on the Women & Bicycles Facebook group today. We like it better than previous years–easier to find different leaderboards, and I like being able to search for people by name.

My sync from Endomondo has been fine so far (except for the app not working as well on my phone as Strava). I was also able to add and delete manually entered miles. It is easy, if not very intuitive. And I LOVE the point structure. Clearly the riding day bonus must be astronomical, based on my score.

[consularrider]

When I joined, I elected to sync from Endomondo and haven’t looked at it since. Looking at the standings yesterday evening, it seemed to have been fine except that the May 5th rides hadn’t yet synced when I checked. This morning everything was there.

I had a problem with synching data from Endomondo for three of the first five days of the Challenge. I reported the problem using https://getsatisfaction.com/nationalbikechallenge and the problem has been cleared up.

[KelOnWheels]

I tried syncing from Endomondo but nothing showed up so I entered miles manually – now to see if it doubles up on the rides or not
