Win 1 of 2 Absa Cape Epic team entries with USN

WoW....well done. Where did you ride?

Thanks man.

Did 50kms on the Spruit, up to Alberts farm and back while I still had light. 

Then headed home and did the remainder of the ride in the surrounding suburbs. 

Didn't want to trek too far out in the dark on my own.

It should only have people in that are still in the competition.

Yes please

Yes please

"third" that.

Agree that it would be nice if it only showed those still in the competition.

That would save me counting that there are 339 people left in the running.

I agree.

I want somewhere where I can see the number of people left decreasing every two weeks at the end of the challenge.

was thinking the same thing this morn

In other news, when do we hear if you won a voucher? 

I think that people are allowed to sync their data (late syncs) up until all the challenges are completed on the specified dates, as long as they have entered the competition in time and actually completed those challenge on the dates required? So there are people who entered, most probably completed challenges in the specified period, but haven't synced it yet and will most probably do so before the competition closes...no way of knowing who should be removed or not. It sucks but that's the problem i see.

Sounds right yes.

But I would not take that change.  I have had data getting corrupted.  So for me I rather download ASAP.  (As I walk in the door at home)

For this competition it makes no sense to hold back on the download. 

But the problem do remain so yes, can't really take anyone off.

I would also like to only see people who still qualify.  What benefit is there to showing people who are out of the running? Surely late uploads would just mark the rider as legible to the competition so they would just auto-magically appear in the list.

They should keep the master data and just add a tab which filters the master data for people who have up to date completed all the challenges. That way when someone syncs late, the filter will pick it up and provide an updated list. It really is a simple task.

Hi everyone, the suggestion for only showing or allowing filtering of those still in the running are all spot on.

We can make the changes, it is relatively simple to do based on the data and the way the system works, but its more a case of squeezing in the unplanned development time. I'll see if I can slot in later today. 

Nice one...

re challenge 4, it says 12 hours 3 consecutive rides

as a commuter, i plan to do longer rides in the morning(to work), would this mean not logging the afternoon/evening ride(fro work)?

or will these be excluded automatically?

I would think that you should exclude the afternoon sessions.  Otherwise it would show morning afternoon morning as your three consecutive rides.  If they're not consecutive then there's no other way of 'filtering' out your short rides?  I would think...   That's how I see it anyway.

it should add the consecutive days ... 1,2,3 

so irrespective of number of rides in a day ... for day 1 you should get {ride 1 hours} + {ride 2 hours}, then on day 2  {ride 1 hours} + {ride 2 hours} and on day 3 the same pattern ...

only requirement is that days 1,2,3 are consecutive ...

at least thats the way I see it.

Looking at it again now on the site (and not reading Meezo'a post), I would have to agree.

Ignore my previous reply

12 hours for 3 consecutive rides (in 3 consecutive days)

Commuting would mean 6 consecutive rides in 3 consecutive days

If it means anything i managed to complete challenge 3 today, this wasn't easy, took a nice tumble at the of my ride.

Ditto

For challenge 4, it says "at least 3 rides" so I would think you can ride morning and evening for 3 days (say 6 rides) and that would be fine?

Yes, that will be fine. As long as the 12 hours falls within a 3 day window within the challenge period you can split it up into as many rides as you like.

Challenge #3 done yesterday on the MTB! That wind...eish!!
