I was down there 3 times last year, roads are awesome!! Take a day trip from where you are and climb up Mt. Mitchell from the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge, it's the most insane ride you'll ever do 😀

A nice after work road ride, a little windy and a school bus tried to run me over after running the Stop sign.😡

1st time at Allaire today with JM&B - did a loop, then they couldn't play anymore, so around again and again....jumped into a top 10 on a short downhill that came out by the golf course (i think) - went up some nice rooty "climbs" - fun, looks like a maze, so gotta study the map a bit.

nice conditions, nice features, nice and flat! which is what i needed after round valley and zion as my last two rides.

anyway, screwed myself out of a couple points - gps said 3:02 - didn't think we stopped that much, perhaps the parking lot before and after.

was going to go for a short ride, and get the total to where it needed to be, but that shouldn't fly in the pro division - ie, i'd need to do another 46 minute ride to get the other hour (i'm tempted, that is a loop around the golf course!) commuting is bordered by the purpose, so totals should add there, as well as sport - just kicking the beta scoring rules for purpose

nice job JimV - he drew an upside down squirrel with his gps art...

Ride # 3

After work I decided to take the single speed for a spin. I rode from my house and managed to get a good mix of single track, and pavement. The local trails are still in bad shape, so I didn't stick around long.

1hr 52m

I'm going to use this as my double day this week since Saturday is looking iffy.

The guys I am with are riding very, very, very hard rides. I am doing "easier" routes. Their routes are like 8200ft of climbing over like 85 miles. INSANE!

JM - can't pull up the route on the map - would love to see it. is it set public?
sounds awesome - thinking about a carmichael climbing camp out there. cheaper than a golf trip....

 

[Patrick]

Mine is public... but my link is only 4800 feet of climbing.

I'll send you the other guys route in private message. They were out for almost 6 hours I don't want to accidentally get more points than I earned!

https -> http seems to work for me - nice loop!

Last thought on the floating bonus days- that's cool for folks who don't have flexible ride times, and if the idea is just to give them a shot too,
(and not to add a layer of strategery to the game) then why not apply the floating bonus to the next ride submitted after the missed bonus day.
That would simplify things a little I think.

If you wanted to leave flexibility to it, you could offer leeway to folks who miss 3 or more of the bonus days-
they could chose the days they want to double up.
Maybe that makes it complicated, I dunno.
Just thoughts on beta testing the system here.

i'm liking this idea... let me leave it movable for the first half. i'll try that out the second of of the month.

Rode 29.1 in 1:51:56. 4 points please.

was that ride for monday or this morning? just keeping the streak bonus tracking in check.

Norm- I thought you are going for 31 days in a row.:hmmm:

 

[Patrick]

Norm- I thought you are going for 31 days in a row.:hmmm:

was also wondering about the overlap of the consecutive day bonus -
would seem that overlapping the 4 and 7 should not be allowed - but the 31 stays in place ???

also, do you need to call it ? is it automatic at 11 days in a row?

do we need issue tracking s/w ? perhaps asana.com? geez,

Steak Bonus- one time only. Save your bonus Norm.

Steak Bonus- one time only. Save your bonus Norm.

I believe you can combine them. 5 + 10 + 31 = 46 total. The idea of "1 time use only" was that you can't do this:

7 on (15 points)
1 off
7 on (15 points)
1 off
7 on (15 points)
1 off
7 on (15 points)

For a total of 60. This was something Dave & I discussed to help stop people playing the system.

But I'll let Dave clarify.

Thoughts?
