MyCyclingLog

[John Ponting]

HELP!!!

30 years working in IT, including OpsMngr for a twin IBM mainframe site, and I can't work out how to display My MyCyclingLog Progress Log in my CC Signature. Everybody else seems to have managed. Do I need VM/VSE/CICS or is it easier than that ?

Yep, an Aussie chap named Lock has put together a little internet gadget that does it.

Best thing to do is to copy the full-length URL from mine or Ian's link, then change our names to yours (your name exactly as it appears on MCL) and our target (the final figure) to yours. It updates every half hour or so, so if you change your target you may not see the change immediately.

Baggy, I don't think it worked as you seem to have cycled a lot of Unknown Distances in Unknown Times...

Might be easiest to manually enter a figure for each month, which is what some others have been doing.

Bums, I'll have a quick look...probably a problem with my dates if, as ian says, they have to be Americanised.

Baggy,
did you download the template from the MCL site?

Yep! I pasted all the data in from my Excel log. I'll enter stuff as a summary instead.

I guessed you would have... I do remember both myself and Helen having problems but can't remember what.

The problem I had was that although I supplied the data as they requested, somehow the dates got turned around so it rejected anything such as 11/13 (which should have been 13th November in their format) because it seems to have decided it was the 11th of a mystery 13th month. So about a third of the rides were in (days 1-12 of the month) but not the rest. I manually deleted all the entries and then did a monthly summary (this was for 2009's data).

I've now signed up (thanks Helen). So, when I've sorted that CSV out, 5.5k extra for the group.....

Another 1000 miles added from me. I never thought I'd get so high up the CC leader board. I must give up work more often!

That's good going Helen but where are you now as I see the entries to the CGOAB have stopped for a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently near San Fran with CC Cathryn. Have been too tired in an evening to write my journal.

Having just joined the CC My Cycling Log group, I have a question. After clicking the add button,and then going to view I see all the logged rides so far are there. Are they held for the whole year. If so is there a way of permantly keeping them. I ask this as it would save me manually keeping to logs. Sorry to ask but Im not the worlds brightest on a PC.

Mark,
on the view tab there is a button for you to export your log back out into csv file. So yes the site does keep for the whole year, and further back to when one first loggs. I have both 2009 and this year on there

 

[lukesdad]

Thanks Ian. How often do you export your log ?

I haven't. But I should.
