Bike Hub Commuters Challenge 2017

[samson99]

6.94km into my commute home this evening and I join samson99 in the 5K club!

 

@samson99 .... when are you going on annual leave ... I have to try and catch up to you!

Look forward to you joining the 5k club!

How many km did you do last year for commuting?

No idea, I just commuted.

 

Generally commute daily, except a shorter Thursday ride in the morning ... so would assume roughly the same that I am on now ... actually no, more than Endomodo is saying.  The app has dropped me a good few times and I also took some time to remember to switch the damned app on!

@Hairy: annual leave is in December. 

 

But i am taking 3 days leave in October.   

Well I look forward to your 3 days off

Congratulations Hairy on joining the 5 000km club!!

Thank heavens for Garmin. I don't have to worry about the app at all.

It loads automatically when i am done. i just need to change the activity type.

Garmin connected to phone via BT, after my ride it uploads to garmin connect automatically. Strava, endomondo and momentum multiply all linked to garmin connect and they all sync via fancy technology without me doing anything. All I then do is log onto endomondo here at work and change to transport.

Only problem with all this is I can't use the app failing as an excuse for not commuting as much as the rest.............

The Garmin route has made life a bliss the last couple weeks.  No more bothering with the phone. Just press the start button and go.

 

Lots of work for me to do to get to the 5k club.

There's a 5000  on the board 

So last year you made a commitment to commute 3000km

Will be closing off my commuters challenge this afternoon - last commute for the year. Just over 2000 done for the year. That's about 200 litres of fuel 

 

If there's a similar challenge for next year, I'll try to get to 3000 - was a great motivator!

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

 

Seems you are going so smash that 3K goal!

Maybe consider using the strava app and then link the 2? I haven't heard of any complaints about the strava app.

Strava has had its moments with me on IOS.  It happened every now and then that it did not record long stretches.  But it was I would say 98% reliable.
