Plus 3 Network raises funds when you ride and log

[Pedal Wench]

Hi! This is the Member Support Manager at Plus 3 Network. You are correct! When the Garmin 305 runs out of memory, it will delete old GPS track data. Your summary information (distance, time, calories, etc.) will be saved, but the detailed track data is deleted. Plus 3 Network can't upload any routes when the track data is gone. I'm glad that you were able to upload so many routes--back to Jan 1 is pretty good

Hi! Thanks for the nudge-- I haven't uploaded anything in a while. Oh-- while I have you - -quick question. I did bicycle route safety for the Breast Cancer Walks. I did two of them, 60-miles each, on my mountain bike, since it's easier for hopping curbs and going on paths when necessary. So, do I log those as mtb miles, or road miles? It was on dirt, path, sidewalk, and road. Whaddya think?

You have to use your best judgement, but I would probably consider it Road Miles. I think it's more about the surface that you're riding than which bike you're on. So, if you ever take your road bike on the trails, call it Mountain Biking The payout amounts are higher for Mountain Biking because you don't typically put in as many miles as road biking--a 60 mile mountain bike ride would certainly be epic!

Hey Letitia - welcome to fray.

Hope you join in on our other discussions here, there are some pretty active mountain bikers (I, alas, prefer pavement to dirt)

You might also want to take a look at the forums on bikejournal.com once they're back up*, we had a pretty lively discussion about the plus 3 network there a couple of months ago.

(*At the moment the bikejournal.com site is down, it was apparently hacked a few days ago, but it should be back up soon)

Thanks! I've spent way too much time reading various threads on TE today! I even bought a pair of recommended shorts.

I'll look forward to seeing the discussion on Bikejournal.com. If the discussion was a few months ago, Plus 3 was quite new or not turned on at all (except for our beta testers). We announced the site at Interbike in Vegas in Sept.

It was around the same time as this thread started up - right after the story came out in the RBR e-newsletter in early October.

Yeah, welcome to my world, this board has proven a bit expensive for me. At least I have yet, yet being the operative word, been compelled to buy a whole new bike.

Hi, Letitia. I emailed you when I first joined with some suggestion though I forget what now as OF-dom has struck.

It would be cool to see everyone's miles logged per type. Guess I should email that to you directly one 'o these days.

Melissam, my Garmin has loaded flawlessly every time. Whassa mattah with yours? I must be a better geekette.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying. Are you asking to go to someone's profile and see not only their total miles/dollars for their Cause, but a breakdown of mileage per sport?

Let me know? I keep a serious list of all feature requests that our members come up with. We can't do everything at once, as we're a pretty small start-up, but we like to have an organized wish-list!

Exactly!

So, do I take 30 minutes to drive home before the Wednesday night ride to pick up my Garmin that I left plugged in so more of my miles count? Or, do I use those 30 minutes to bike more miles and enter them manually?

Unique Plus3 dilemma...

[NomadGal]

Exactly!

I'll put this on our enhancement to-do list!

I'm just not very technical.

Wow! That is so neat... They actually have a site like that!
Do you have to have Garmin or can you log info in the old fashioned way, one at a time... blah blah blah...?

Go back and read the first post of this thread for the hand entry info.

Yes, you can hand enter activities! Just go to Activities-->Enter Past Activity By Hand. You can simply put a sport and mileage, or you can add a map and plot out your course. Please let me know if you have any difficulties. support@plus3network.com
