Let the fun and games commence!!!

Not sure if Strava can. On Endomondo I have seen number of workouts. I've set one up on http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/39209519

 

Thanks. I have joined as well. How about a challenge for total elevation?

I think most will have a challange wrt to climbing on commute.  Most commutes into cities tend to be relatively flat.  Joburg is a tad hilly but for the most like in Pretoria and even in Cape Town (unless commuting from the Peninsula) it is pretty much flat.  I myself in Munich have it pretty flat.  It is alright for the Sani2C challange which is only a week but most suffer to get the climbs in.

Added to this, Endo doesn't really have the ability to create a climbing meters challenge. We faced this problem with the Sani2C challenge last year.

Where in Pretoria did you commute? I worked at Unisa and lived in the east and I don't think there was any flat route between the two. Or maybe I just forgot

The east is a tad more hilly but not high hills.  I grew up in the east.  But later stayed in the Moot and unless you diverted via Klapperkop and Voortrekkerhoogte there was not much really.

Ok thanks.  I don't use it then.  Strava and Endomondo syncs with Garmin Connect so I do not have the problem.

Bats, what elevation do you consider flat?

100-150 m on a 30 km commute in my mind is pretty flat.  Will post a profile of my commute which I actually consider flat.

Thanks Bats.

 

I get 220m on the 25km morning commute and 350m on the 27km home commute.

 

So i am slightly ahead of flat.

Going directly to work I climb 90m-100m over 8km. Coming home it's 40m-50m for the same route. Can get to work in 20min and home in 15min but usually do it in about 22min and 18min.

It came down yesterday. I was heading towards it on my way home and could see it was going to be a rilla. When the planes starts turning away from the airport(using 21 for departure) earlier at low level then I know they ducking some serious weather in the south. The wind was also insane. I got home and like 10 min later it hit us hard.
