Any beginners looking for motivation?

Hi All,

I started riding more seriously at the start of last year, I quickly joined endomondo to help motivate me and it does work.

Ive set up a most miles challenge for this year: http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/3339438; and already set one up for next year: http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6897292

If you go to endomondo home page: http://www.endomondo.com/home; you can set up an account and join in the challenges, take a look, anyone can set up an account.

I think you can manually put in your rides but I use a garmin edge 800 and a garmin forerunner watch which you can get for about £100. If you have s smartphone its a simple app download and it uploads automatically.

This worked for me, it might help you too

Good luck

Apparently Strava is even more motivational/addictive. Unfortunately they don't do a Symbian version, so I'll have to stick with Endomondo.

I downloaded starva but i didnt like it. The functions and reports on endomondo i find better

Ive also been told that endomondo is more accurate and stable, but i found no issue with either

i also use garmin connect

the strava app is rubbish.. but you dont need the app. just upload everything to the site, which is incredibly awesome. Garmin connect will sync with it as well via the website

i found the endo app very good, i dont use it now as i use my garmins

the garmins upload direct to endo also

Is there a prize for the least number miles I might stand a chance on that one, but I think Emdmondo is excellent

Ha, ha, im sure youll be fine, the more join the larger spread of miles
also, theres a sister challenge which is the amount of rides not the distance, us mortals may have a chance with that one
