Winter Commuter Special Edition 12/20/2012

Welcome to the special edition of the Winter Commuter Challenge between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska. Last night mother nature decided to deliver unto us a blizzard which dumped upon us between four and six inches of the white stuff, but not before laying down some rain first which would turn into a wonderful sheen of ice under the powder.

Lincoln reported an average raw snowfall amount of 6.17" while Omaha reported an average of 5.2". These results were compiled from NOAA here.  I averaged all non-zero twenty-four hour observations to get the results. Zero readings and 6 hour readings are considered erroneous.

Since the weather started getting bad around 3:00PM Wednesday, I set the time range for the results to be all trips started between 3PM Wednesday to midnight last night. If you have not logged your miles by this morning, you will not show up on the results.

Looks like Lincoln is the hardcore winner here. Keep up the good work everyone, keep riding, and stay warm.

Once again, I only pulled riders based on their geographical location which is in their profile.

Lincoln vs. Omaha Winter Commuter Smackdown

The results are in for the month of November in the Lincoln Omaha Winter Commuter Challenge. To achieve these results I have compiled the commuting trips based on location to help remove people who may be participating in both challenges or may live in some other area of the country, like Chicago. Yes, there is a participant in both challenges who lives in Chicago.

So, for the month of November here are the results:

Lincoln Omaha
Riders 64 87
Trips 1843 1660
Distance 6544.42 12894.51
Time Riding 14 days 20:37:01 10 days 16:39:54

















Looks like Omaha is leading in the miles category while Lincoln is dominating in the number of trips and time spent riding. Can't wait to see how things fare when the weather goes bad. There will definitely be a special foul weather edition of these results. Keep it up everyone.

Omaha Winter Commuter Challenge November Results

 Ok. I've been able to port my program over to track the Omaha commuter challenge, so we can eventually do a city challenge. 

As I stated on the Lincoln challenge, results are indicitive of your settings. If your workouts are public, there is no problem. However, if your security settings for workouts are for only you or Endomondo friends and we are not friends, your results will not show or show incorrectly. To fix this, change the setting to Friends and friend me on Endomondo.

Here are the results for the month of November. You can also see the spreadsheet itself so you can do all sorts of sorting on it. I will be working on a webpage to do all this with the data. Enjoy.
