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.

Give it time, the site resyncs every so often if the ride doesn’t push in.

Team 5, https://www.strava.com/clubs/1016631, and after you join the team it may take a ride and/or time before the site syncs. Obviously this is just you. And Andrea, Billy, Chris, Paul, Greta, Andria, Sophie, Melodi and Eric. Anyone else who needs to know can just follow up in this thread. \

I may try to join for half of the ride but don’t wait for me, I have failed many times. Beach South of French School is still a bit sketchy though; are you planning to take your standard route from the Metro or do you have alternate plans?

I’m Merlin, sorry I missed the happy hour but I was on birthday duty. I live in Takoma Park, work(ed) in DC; this is my second FS though I’ve been a year-round DC commuter (missing the CCT) for a decade. Love riding in the rain and at night.

The board is rounding to whole numbers but the math is based on your exact mileage so these folks did 3.x miles for various x.

How do i get my quaxapalooza hashtag #BAFS2021SmallBiz added to the forum website so it creates a leaderboard?

You can just link to any tag: https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/SmallBiz and post it in a thread. Getting it officially linked in the site is a bit more effort.

To reduce overhead we dropped dated prefixes from the core tags, so #SmallBiz preferred to #BAFS2021SmallBiz, but that’s only really material if you want it linked in the site.

Just to give you fair warning: The registration form is now up (although it has not yet been publicized). So if this is not resolved quickly, it will be too late to collect the information.

There is a PR up that provides a UI for folks to select their affiliations within the FS app itself, so no extra effort needed in the registration process. Obviously folks would then have to be proactive about this selection step. @drevil, not much effort as specced.

Curious: how difficult is it to add wacky stats? Like during sign up people can choose the following of how they plan to ride most often during FS:

• Clipless or Flat pedal
• Drop bar or Straight bar
• Slicks or Knobbies
• Fender or Fenderless
• Bar mitts or Gloves
• ROYGBIV or Black/White/Silver colored bike
• Rear view mirror or Neck twist

What does your visualisation look like? Napkin sketch of the stats page.

The +10 for mile 1 is directly equivalent to -10 for not riding a mile, it just recasts the penalty as a reward. Where things currently stand, I believe the top 8 teams are also the top 8 teams by ride days so the scoring system seems to incentivise the right thing; it certainly encouraged me to ride more, more often than I might have .

The data are keyed against your Strava athlete id (the number at the end of your strava url, https://www.strava.com/athletes/19607766) so name changes should not affect results; only switching to a new account.

We could summon the shadow proclamation to rule on reverse loops, but run the risk of a judgment that they rightly be subtracted from your total in accordance with all that is good and proper. Total milage is pretty solid; Strava does not appear to change the value (unless you crop a ride) and in normal usage rides would never be deleted from fs.org so I can personally, but with all respect and no intended slight, insult nor vituperation, only suggest human error. That is to say, I ran a full resync on your data and the sum remained the same.
