Hardriders Challenge Update
Afternoon everyone. Just to let you all know the tech team are making good progress on upgrading the elevation gain algorythm to better reflect the climbing stats you see elsewhere. I won't comment on the state of the leaderboards until we've pushed this live probably early next week!
In the meantime, keep pedalling “up” as much as possible” and logging those rides as that’s the sure fire way to ensure you’re at the top of the list.
In the non-pedalling aspects of the challenge, we’ve seen some great photos uploaded in the challenge hardrider photo competition and with the weather being what it is here in the UK, we’re looking forward to seeing some mud stained faces uploaded over the coming days. You can upload them here.
In the “Tell us why you’re a hardrider” competition, there’s still time to tell some soul searching stories of pain and suffering – here’s where to post them

The reason the start is higher than the end is that I would have started riding before I got a full gps lock.
I think that it's all the differences iron themselves out, the garmin is generally not far off.
If you look at my second ride on Sunday 17th, where I was riding reps on local climbs, the top of each hill is the same on the elevation chart each time. If this was an actual competition, I would want more accuracy, but it's not and as such, a couple of hundred metres either way is neither here nor there. Either way, I enjoy climbing the hills and this challenge is a good reason to focus on hill climbing this month, next month I'm going for distance, new bike is coming...
