From the title you might think this post has something to do with my day job where I am frequently testing applications in various scenarios to make sure they perform as intended. That is not the case, though. This has to do with how my data is being displayed for a ride I did Monday evening.
You see, there were some family matters to attend to and since I was running short on sleep I didn't get up and get my ride in before work on Monday. In fact I didn't get in in right after work, either. I eventually got my ride in at 10:34 pm on Monday. Now I didn't go far, being so late. Nor was I out long - the ride was only about 9 minutes. I did get my ride in for the day, though.
I uploaded the data to Daily Mile, Plus 3 and Strava with no issues. I also uploaded it to Map My Ride which interfaces with the National Bike Challenge to track my progress. Everything looked good until I went back into the site on Tuesday and it showed that while the ride was on 6/23, it posted to 6/24. Looking at the National Bike Challenge as well, it showed I had missed the ride on 6/23.
I went back into Map My Ride and attempted to make a change to show the ride on the 23rd. Unfortunately when I made the change it moved the ride to the 22nd. I changed it a second time and now it displays correctly in Map My Ride, but from what I understand is that once the data from a ride is uploaded and synced to the National Bike Challenge site, it cannot be changed "for the integrity of the contest."
So I am now left with an empty day where I did in fact ride. I wrote to the support people at the National Bike Challenge but I know they are going to tell me the fault lies with Map My Ride. I also wrote the support people at Map My Ride, but don't have high hopes of a resolution.
Is this a big deal in the overall scheme of things - no, not at all, its just that one day stands out like a sore thumb in the midst of all the other days in a row that I've ridden, which at this point stands at 40 days in a row with just under 100 miles in my personal challenge.
Get On Your Bikes and RIDE!!!!!!!
