Say what?
I wuz under the impression the saying was "No brain, no pain"

I musta been mistaken all those years.
(says the man with 5 operations last 4 years for old injuries.....)

Shirley it can't be related?

Can I use Endomondo on the plane back home?

eh? You mean Mark and Daniel shared more than a room?

I just wish you'd run this in March

At the half way point of the month, here are the current standings:

1 Mark - 122mi / 196km
2 fizzicist - 99mi / 159km
3 GridGirl - 57mi / 91km
4 Daniel - 38mi / 61km
5 J4MIE - 14mi / 22km

How is the distance recorded? Is it through GPS on your phone or something?

Yes, recorded using the Endomondo app which uses GPS.

I thought so, could be a problem for me seeing as though a lot of cycling I do through woods etc I get no phone signal

It doesn't use phone signal. It uses GPS which comes from satellites.

That may be blocked from time to time by trees (or more likely the accuracy slightly reduced) but the app will just fill in the blanks anyway.

I hope it does so better than our old Garmin GPS. We have several tunnels in this area, and for some reason it messes with the GPS unit. It's not uncommon for our highest speed to read 200+. Not bad for a people and stuff hauling mid sized SUV!

GridGirl just did a 60 mile cycle ride to move into 2nd place!

I'm going to lend my postman an old handset and kick all your butts

Just utterly failed to get my bike in the back of the Panda, even with the front wheel removed could just about squeeze it in, but would damage something so not going to risk it. Will have to get a roof carrier for it which will be at least after pay day but might put it off longer if it's starting to get colder then

I might have moved into second place but that bike ride was the toughest I've ever done. Although worth it to cycle with Bradley Wiggins. Had to take my training partner to the minor injuries unit this morning so I could now be out of the race now I don't have an exercise buddy.

Gone to hospital! I thought he was just whinging as usually

I wondered why my Facebook was getting filled up with useless crap Mark. I was at the point of deleting you

Can we have a driving one next month. I need to get home on the 1st and it's a long wayyyyyy.

Btw Jamie, that's an embarrassment. I walk further going to the toilet!

I believe you can choose not to receive any more updates from a particular app. So next time you see an Endomondo one there should be an icon at the top right.
