November 'get my A$$ on the trainer' challenge

heh heh

The original Get Your A$$ on the trainer challenge was in cumulative points.  It was a logistic nightmare for Max to track points cause there were points for each ride cumulative with days in a row and then you lost points if you missed a day.  10 minutes was his minimum ride length ( I did one 10 min ride in my pj'a at 11 PM one night so I wouldn't lose all my accumulated points for consecutive days)

That said, I think you could set it up however you want.  Some people will still be able to ride outdoors.  Some people may be wanting to use spin classes or gym bikes.  You set the rules and the point system.

Oh, this had to have been a sight!  PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!

Although i never joined i do remember it being a crazy points system - we need Max back xoxo.  Spin class/gym bike would be great to incorporate, too. But #1 change -  i think it should be a minimum of 15 mins  let's see if you bunny slippers can handle that - LOL =)

ok - i'll start crunching some numbers

No, Ben, NOOOOOOOO - We still have quality 'Sconnie' running weather left!!

I really like that idea, simple is always better! I just want that extra incentive for 'days-in-a-row'.  It needs to be a big enough point value... i don't want to say to myself 'well if i just stay on another 15 minutes i can take tomorrow off'......

help - ... how do I get into the spreadsheets these days?

I could set that up in excel, but I am unsure if google docs supports the formulas I am thinking of.   You would have to have a daily entry (like 30 days) and an idea of how you want points to carry forward.  i.e  each day in a row counts as an additional "point" so if you ride 3 days in a row at 30 mins, you would get 2 points for each day and then maybe an extra half point for 3 days ago and an extra quarter point for yesterday so it would total 6.75 points for the 3 days as opposed to 6 points for one day at 1.5 hours or 6.25 points for for two days in a row of 45mins...  so basically if you rode everyday you would get an extra 108.75 pts (27 hrs)under that scheme.  You could limit it to a certain maximum "extra points" per day of like either 4 (an hour) or 2 (30 min) which works out to a maximum "extra" of 86pts (21hrs) at the max 4 and 5 pts (12.75hrs)

or something like that...
