Do you think that might present an opportunity to claim use of performance enhancements?

Maybe I’ll just break it up into two weeks of back to back double centuries then.

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

I would definitely use them given all this humidity we’ve had. I’m constantly washing my helmet/padding/straps and HRM strap and it still gets funky easily.

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.

I totally agree the interface is remarkably shoddy for something so high profile, and that thing with the end of the month deadline is stupid. After August I won’t be using Endomondo until the next NBC or whatever.

I look forward to the 3000 mile ride! Or 10 200mi rides in a row. You do get 20pts/day just for riding, so you might want to spread out your totals (unless you compensate by adding 20miles x days you rode to your gigantic total).

YAY!!! I can’t believe I won something in one of the drawings – a Trek water bottle for my Trek bike! I really needed one. I only have about 8 or 9 of them and none of them say Trek. I love my Trek.

Take a look at the bottom of your BikeArlington water bottle. You should faintly see the Trek logo embossed into the plastic!

[Arlingtonrider]

I looked and it does! OK – that one will remain my real favorite – it has both BikeArlington AND Trek.

My power was out June 30th and it did not come back on for a few days. I lost 73 points because of that but if you were “too tired” to post your 216 mile ride, that’s your fault.

I’m not whining about the lost points.

The top placed rider in Virginia and the top placed rider in Maryland are both on the same team and they both are in the WASHINGTON-ARLINGTON-ALEXANDRIA, DC-VA-MD-WV community. Between them a total of 10,468 points. Why do they only have 8931 on the WASHINGTON-ARLINGTON-ALEXANDRIA, DC-VA-MD-WV team leaderboard?

You probably didn’t mean that to sound as abrasive as it came across.

The point total issue is a known bug that Endomondo is not able to fix. I believe the issue is referenced in a previous post in this thread.

Harden up, Ironman!

I don’t believe this issue has been mentioned in the thread. All the riders on your team are in the WASHINGTON-ARLINGTON-ALEXANDRIA, DC-VA-MD-WV community. All of your team’s points are accounted for in the community team leaderboard. I think the problems mentioned in the thread were due to misunderstanding about how the points are totaled in the LOCAL leaderboard which includes only people from your state (local means state). If you click on communities > your community > teams you’ll see the total points from members of your team who reside in your community. My team has two members in the WASHINGTON-ARLINGTON-ALEXANDRIA, DC-VA-MD-WV community, so we’re not highly placed, but we should be a few places higher than we are, unless I’m misunderstanding something.

[Rod Smith]

Oh, I was just whining about the point total. I knew no one would know the answer. It doesn’t matter, it’s the difference between 15 and 17th place, haha.
