Once again demonstrating that timing is everything.

Argh! Bad weather means a slow start for the A-Team! or maybe we’re all just waiting until the end of the week to upload our data!

You should be riding with a cape (with a great big “K” on it). You are truly superhuman.

So serious question. In the Natl Challenge, I am finding some serious latency between logging hours and the hours showing up. Are other people experiencing that? Is it no big thing, the miles will show up by the end of the day (as in, if my team shows up, tries to log hours – and they dont show up – they will get frustrated and this will go dud). Is there a reason why the miles take so long to show up or am I doing something wrong perhaps?

If you go to the home (National) page of the Challenge website (http://www.nationalbikechallenge.org), you’ll see news postings from the National Bike Challenge folks at the lower right. They just posted information about a new release to help address some of those issues.

Also, to see how our teams are doing, people can click on Local or National at the top left, then Leaderboard, then Teams. Go Killer Bees (aka BikeArlington B Team)!

I noticed the lag a little before the challenge started. Once we hit May 1, the lag got much worse. I don’t really worry about it. I just upload my stuff and come back an hour later and my numbers have been updated.

@ Arlingtonrider, I am trying to send you a PM but your inbox is full.

Go B-team!

[Arlingtonrider]

Thx! Will fix it right now.

I just put up 54ish points, which I think puts the Cs ahead of the B squad!

Go C Team!!! Awesome job y’all. Just goes to show that having a good team makes all the difference! Keep up the good work!

I went out and rode with some of the A-Team last night. I thought they needed a little moral support. I think they were a little downtrodden. Hopefully their spirits were uplifted a bit and they can get more points up on the board.

(In spite of all that rah rah pep talk, the B Team will still CRUSH YOU ALL!!!! I mean that in the nicest way.)

Have a great day! Get out and ride your bike!

Krista Shepis and Patrick Walsh – we’re thinking about a get-together sometime. Please send me a private message (notifications, above) to let us know how we can get in touch with you. Or email me at treker869@gmail.com.
