You can enter the miles manually.

Yeah, I was doing that. This evening it told me I needed to update my Garmin communicator and the problem is solved.

I tried to change my commute settings — I’ve been consistently taking a shorter route this summer (roughly 16 miles instead of 16.5). However, Endomondo seems to have a glitch, every time I try to save the new setting I get an error message. So I’m going to try to go back and change them all by hand… ugh

So, I was walking along the edge of the hotel parking lot, away from the “guest” areas. I saw a construction worker working with his bike parked nearby. I was halfway tempted to ask if I could borrow his bike for a few minutes to get some (very few) miles in today for the challenge. I resisted temptation, in a rare victory for moderation.

It just goes by miles, right? Why don’t you just subtract it from the next commute or two?

Yeah, you’re right — I’m not going to fix the old entries. I just took off 10 miles from this morning’s commute, which should be about right. Then I’ll enter the commutes manually from now on, rather than using the commute button.

The commute settings functionality seems to work now – at least it did for me this morning. Give it a shot.

Thanks, done! I was probably just the first person who sent in the bug…

Congratulations to Kathy Lewis for winning a Water Bottle

There were a few other winners from our area, but did not recognize the names.

(I am currently in 2nd place for August!!! #notforlong)

I have a screen shot of me at Number 1! It was an ephemeral moment for sure.

I did the first installment of “ride your age” for my birthday this morning and I was STILL #2 on the local leaderboard when I got to work. It’s tough to keep up with this bunch.

Yes, it gets tough when you get up there in years . . . .

A certain BikeArlington staff member should log their missing miles for the A-Team! We’re falling down the ladder.

Congrats on winning the water bottle. That makes two riders to have won prizes, right?

Drat, I was really hoping to win the one-year supply of K-C Cottonelle bath tissue & moist wipes this month.

I’m protesting their shoddy interface and file size limitations and the fact that if you do a 216 mile ride that takes all day on June 30th and are too tired to think about updating your Endomondo profile before midnight then you don’t get any points for it.

That and I’ve been particularly busy. I’ve been keeping track of my miles on a separate excel list and will calculate my own totals when I get the opportunity. Expect a 3000 mile ride or something like that towards the end of August.
