Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks all, I've come up with a workaround, almost by accident.
I normally use my Garmin 800 on my bike because the OS maps come in handy sometimes. I would switch it off while I was at work, then upload my commute via USB after getting home in the morning.
I've started using my Garmin Forerunner 45 instead. If I stop it when I get to work it automatically uploads the ride via Bluetooth on my phone and the bugs are recorded as squished. I then start it again before riding home. This means my commute gets recorded as two separate rides, instead of one longer one with a big pause in the middle, but that doesn't matter either way.
I'm swapping shifts from next week, but now I've got a system, I can adapt it to suit my new commute times.

I literally just saw the leave button and wondered if that would reset! Thanks Bob!

Or if you stick with it your score will change quite quickly. It only counts the last 30 days so the big negatives fall off, I enjoy going from -3,000 odd to a positive score. I've done it several times now :-)

Blimey and I worry about going from 8,000 to 5,000, when it drops off fast! I’ve never been in minus!

-3800 here.
Not been well enough to get the bugs out of the circle. It will all come good in the end :) They are so close together that I can carry 15 odd out at a time coome enough fitness to get out of the circle.

When I started playing I had no idea what I was doing and was very much negative. I understand better now!
