Points per mile pointless prize

[Brett L.]

Embrace the sleaze!

[Steve O]

Well, there currently is no sponsor for “Sleaze King/Queen,” so this prize might serve as a proxy for that.

Or, chuxtr, you could do that instead. It’s already tracked on the FS website.

It’s kind of like a fancy sturdier bag.

FS vets – Please let me know if I’m OK offering up this pointless prize. Or please let me know what else I need to do. Since I’m a rookie, I really don’t know what I’m doing but wanted to provide a prize.

BTW, the wallet is actually this one:

http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-bags-panniers/bontrager-pro-ride-wallet/p/14405/

An iPhone 5 or 6 will fit. I think a 6 Plus might fit if the phone isn’t in a case.

Looking forward to meeting folks at happy hour tonight. Cheers,

Chuck

Fancy. Way nicer than the zip lock bag that I usually use. FS runs on anarchy. You can offer up any prize you want any way you want.

Welcome to the contest. Hope to see you at Happy Hour tonight.

Embrace the anarchy! Freezing Saddles riders unite!

Just for grins and to give y’all an idea of how this pointless prize works, I hand jammed the data from the leaderboard (as of earlier this morning) and this is how the top 20 ends up looking.

Rank Name Points/mile Points Miles Days
1 Tania P 7.67 23 3 2
2 Michael T 6.00 108 18 9
3 Matt W 6.00 12 2 1
4 Chris J 5.29 74 14 6
5 Stephanie C 5.00 50 10 4
6 Richard B 5.00 25 5 2
7 J H 5.00 25 5 2
8 Rob C 4.91 113 23 9
9 Chris Maimone 4.60 115 25 9

19 Mathilde P 3.73 82 22 6
20 Jesse A 3.73 82 22 6

Very different, huh? Almost like a race to the bottom. No one anywhere near the top of the leaderboard makes the cut. The highest placed person on the points leaderboard is Sam W who is sitting at #160. And the current points per mile leader is Tania P who is sitting at #245 on the points leaderboard.

It’s worth noting that not everyone in the top 20 (including the leader) is necessarily on track to ride 30 days (note that I changed the last tiebreaker to days ridden, not rides, and the requirement is now a minimum of 30 days ridden) based on ~3 rides per week (they should’ve ridden at least 3 rides by now). But’s it’s still very early with plenty of time for folks to catch up.

Also, this was a total PITA to do so I’m not doing it again.:p But hopefully we’ll be able to create an actual leaderboard. Stay tuned.

FWIW – as a backup plan to a live leaderboard, it’s not a total PITA to do if you use the ride day table (http://www.freezingsaddles.com/people/ridedays), which can be cut and pasted into Excel very easily.

OK. I’ll try that. Thanx!

Ride Day table doesn’t contain all the data I need.

[chuxtr]

OK, trying again to post a table that is legible. God, I suck at this!

This could turn out to be an interesting competition. No one near the top of the leaderboard is in the top 20. The highest ranked person on the leaderboard is Sam W who is #168. And the current points per mile leader (Tania P) is #245 on the leaderboard. Also, Matt W who is DFL on the leaderboard is currently in third. And #1 on the Leaderboard (Bob J) is DFL!

But there’s a still a long way to go in the race to the bottom! :p And a reminder that the requirement is now a minimum of 30 ride days, not 30 rides.

Points = #Rides * 10 + #Miles

You need Points, Rides and Miles, yes?

Thank you for your post in Data & techie stuff. I figured it out and now have an Excel spreadsheet I can use to track and update whenever I want using the Ride Day data.

[chuxtr]

Now that I can use the Ride Days data to put into a spreadsheet to calculate, I can actually update on a regular basis. I won’t do this daily (maybe weekly), but here’s the standings as of this morning 0800.
