merlinParticipantThere’s no real review, there was a one-time crude purge of duplicate rides, where Mrln rode with Mrln because he recorded on two devices and didn’t delete one.
merlinParticipantA climb is never for naught but, well, your climb was for naught.
merlinParticipantAmong all of us we put in 91 hours riding in the rain that day.

merlinParticipantMerlin Hughes, Takoma Park. I make my daily 10 miles, usually on the Ross Hill loop, and am very bad at planning anything longer.

As someone battling for the ‘reverse’ freeze points this year, I would love to know how the other end of this game works. I was so far ahead a few weeks ago, and now someone is ahead of (below) me.
Well, so freeze points is the sum of the daily max of (11*(ATAN((R.distance+4)-2*PI())+1.4)-2.66)*(1.2+ATAN((32-W.ride_temp_start)/5)) which clearly explains how you lost your spot.
merlinParticipantIf enough people believe in the link, the link will work.
merlinParticipantMy plan is to count the max of the true north start loops and imposter south start loops for each ride. This will solve for double dipping, but if someone does a ride that starts with a south start loop and later has a north start loop they’ll lose, but that’s okay, such a person doesn’t deserve to be counted.

Is this now Strava’ ed (there is obviously a segment already) or is it still run by hashtags?
Code is done, it is in a queue to hopefully get pushed up to the site so should be safe to ride without tags. If not, we can always pull results from the database at the end.
merlinParticipantmerlinParticipantBillygoat does encourage a particularly idiosyncratic riding style. To reduce the degree to which it discourages distance you could change from ascent/distance to ascent/distance^q for some q less than one. For example, at q = .5, 100 feet in one mile would be equivalent to 316 feet in 10 miles. At about .6, Nigel Brockton jumps to #1 and stays there all the way down to about .1 when Chris Watson goes to #1. It would be hard to defend any particular choice of q, unless you just chose that value that pushed you out of first place..

Does Dark Sky look at the whole ride for freeze points, or like Klimat, just looks at the beginning temps and you get that temp for all your miles?
The code believes that it samples the weather data hourly over the entire duration of the ride based on your approximate start lat/long rounded to 1 decimal place, so within 10 miles or so. Temperatures are averaged, precipitation is accumulated and scaled so if you rode 30 minutes you get half of the hour’s precipitation, or if you sat in a coffee shop for 3 hours of a 4 hour ride you’ll get 1/4 the weather. For technical reasons if you do a massive ride starting just before midnight your weather credit will be shortchanged. Some of this could be improved, but the weather data are so unreliable and the code test coverage so non existent, the bearing of any of this on reality is questionable and any improvements would as likely as not not be.
