Woot!

OK, I think I’m in, and hopefully logged a ride.

Yep, it works.

Endomondo’s pretty easy as long as you’re already logging your rides from a Garmin file to Strava, it only takes a sec to also log it on Endomondo, and then the bike challenge synchs it from there.

So we’re up to 26 riders and it seems my rides are synching up without me having to do anything. Whew! :rolleyes:

Yep, you’re in. You should be able to check at this link to see whether your ride or rides have been credited. It looks like it’s crediting rides for the past week, even if you just joined today.

I think I just joined. But I don’t have time to get the apps set up. Will get my ducks in a row this weekend. Away we go!

Just to make this even more sociable, I set up a Washington DC Area league of teams, and sent invitations to the Washington Area All-Stars and the WABA Women and Bicycles teams. If there are any other local area teams, they can join at https://nationalbikechallenge.org/league/2521

Awesome! The leagues is something new. I kinda thought it would be a contest between teams, but it looks like individual riders? I got this message when I tried to join. “Sorry. This account is not linked with the email address that this invitation was sent to.” Also tried to add you as a team leader (we are allowed up to three administrators), but that didn’t seem to work either.

Sigh! I’ve put in a support request on both issues. Clearly they are having a lot of software issues this year!

Did you actually get the invitation to join the league? Someone else said he had an invitation go to his spam folder, and that when he found it, he was able to click on a link in it to join the league. That’s not ideal (I set the league to public so teams that were not specifically invited could join), but it might at least resolve the immediate issue if it works.

in like flynn, but no fancy-pants GPS-ey computer-box stuff. will need to remeber to manually enter rides. is that kinda like a technology-based rule number 5?

[Rod Smith]

Carol, if I’m having problems it’s best to try to work them out with me before going to the support requests because I’m sort of computer challenged. I found the email and joined our team to the league!

[Rod Smith]

Meanwhile teammate Shawn Gallagher is #1 nationally for month of April having ridden 692 miles in 4 days!

Am I the only one who can’t join because the “registration” page has a bunch of blanks, but nothing to tell me what to fill in? I could try guessing, but…

Stupid work computer with stupid IE. (and an old version of IE at that…) Grump.

[CPTJohnC]

Okay – -I solved my first problem, which was signing up for an account. And I supposedly have joined the team, but it doesn’t want to let me sync my endomondo account (or any account for that matter!). Tips from the pros?
