I figure I’m not going to win anything on this dumb competition, so I might as well award something to someone.
This original challenge was to have the largest circle on the distance/elevation/speed page, but I have learned that this is just the average speed and not based upon some complicated formula, so that idea is being scrapped.
Someone mentioned they thought that it would be for the longest ride that looks like a circle, so I will go ahead and change the challenge to that. I probably won’t be that strict on the interpretation of what a circle looks like, but it should be mostly round!
The prize will still be a six-pack of your beverage of choice.
Hopefully people can post rides that they want entered into this thread. Otherwise, I guess I’ll have to figure out who the winner will be. Now get out there and ride around in circles.
p.s. I changed the context of this original post, so if you happen to read some of the following posts, they may not make much sense if you haven’t seen this post before.

Alan, I have a few questions:
1. Are you still offering a Pointless Prize to the BAFSer with the biggest circle?
2. What are the rules? Obviously “biggest circle”/fastest average, but are there are conditions, such as minimum miles logged (e.g., 1,000km)?
3. Can the winner opt to not have you stare into their eyes at the closing happy hour?Please see the original post. I ended up changing my challenge (based upon Bentbike33’s comment). I never realized that the circle was just average speed. I always thought it was some formula based upon speed/distance/elevation. Obviously, if I just wanted to make it on avg. speed, I wouldn’t have wasted the effort to make things more difficult.
Just go out a ride a route that looks sort of like a circle. The longest ride will win. If you want to do it really fast, and have the highest avg., go for it, but it won’t mean anything.
lol, and who knows about #3. Maybe as I walk around the room during that final happy hour, someone’s eyes will just say “give me a prize”. You just never know.

Oh well. That contest went over quite well. What is your six-pack of choice, Rod? lol, I’ll make sure I make them extra heavy for your ride back home after the happy hour. Unless Eric W. can manage a circular route longer, it looks like you have this one won. Or unless some cutie happens to post a ride a bit closer to a circle.
And I guess we’ll have to wait for the possible “eye” portion of the contest until the final happy hour.
*Edit* Ooops, didn’t realize that it wasn’t a real ride and only generated by ride with GPS. However, if anyone does this ride, I’m pretty sure you all will have to fight it out for that extra .1 mile to win the prize. That’s a pretty amazing circular route.
You almost got me, Rod!

Do I count as a cutie?
