I don't think the New Distance calculations are working. I don't hike much and I recorded over 100 miles this year and the majority of it was in a single direction in a location I have never been to.

Hi, sorry about that! Looks like there were a lot of your activities that didn't get their "new distance" analysed. It should be fixed for you now, but I'll need to review other people's stats.

Would be cool to have the description of an activity updated if that activity results in an increased Eddington Number (or hour record, etc).

Hi Kristopher, I've considered this in the past, but on balance think that it's best to let you do it manually. I do send an email when your E-number increases, and that has a suggested bit of text you can add to the activity.

My time zone seems to be set to UK but I am in China. This means starting a ride at 6am shows as the day before and if I add on another ride later in the day it shows as the next day. Any way to amend this without stitching the two GPX rides into one?

Hi Luke, you should be seeing all of your activities in local time. I've checked some of yours and can see that the local time is being stored correctly. Where do you see UK time?

Hi John, is there a particular reason why the activity search is limited to 200? I wanted to know how many 100km rides I'd done, I know it's well over 200. Thanks for all the useful facilities you keep adding to the app! Malc.

I've just added this as an option in the activities filter section. If defaults to 200, but you can set it to show "All".

14 April 2024 and this page shows 140 days on the "ride" tab and 281 days on the "walk" tab while only 105 days have occurred this year.

It sounds like you're looking at the "one year" stats (the last 365 days). Can you send a screenshot of what you're seeing to webmaster@swinny.net please?

Hi John , have noticed a bit of a glitch . I reached E101 on August 12th with a combo of 2 rides due to be hitting save part way through a ride and yesterday I rec'd notification that I am back on E100 and have 3 more activities to reach E101 , today I had a count up of all my rides over 101 miles on the ride summary page and there is 101

This is unfortunately caused by a bug fix! I hadn't been using an accurate conversion factor from metres to miles, so was giving you more miles than I should. It's accurate now, and your adjustment down must mean that you had a few days that were actually just shy of 101 miles. Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for the great tool. Just one Q: why does the km and mile E-number not match (in my case).

KM: 105

Miles: 70

But using the 1.609 conversion I would get to 112, which does not match my number of rides over 112km. Am I missing something?

Glad to hear that you like it, Jeroen. The reason for the km/miles discrepancy though, is because the count also factors into the formula - so a score of 112 needs 112 days at that distance, whether it's in km or in miles.

How is the "New distance" metric calculated? I can't find such an attribute in the data pulled from the Strava API.
Reply

Hi Jarek, I calculate this myself by storing activity co-ordinates and figuring out for a new activity which co-ordinates are new. It's a bit crude, but gives a reasonable estimate of the new distance covered.

Hi John, great insights!

I was hoping to be one step closer to 46 (km) but somewhow, of the rides for 01 Nov 2021 only read one of the two rides I did (one started home, finished mid-trip (28ish km), and the second started a few minutes later from where the first ended, and went all the way home again (21ish km)... only the first appears, so instead of a 49 kms day, i've got a 28 kms day)

Just checking to see if this is something particular of this day, a bug, or how it would be expected to work.

Thanks again, Gonzalo!

Hi Gonzalo! I've been doing some server maintenance work recently, so it may be that your other ride was missed out. Best thing to do is for you to check my little "Help Guide" (link at the top left of the page).

Hi John. I've been making use of the Activity Analyser, a very useful tool! One observation; it asks for the ride parameters in miles but gives the results in metric which, unless I've missed a control somewhere, seems illogical? Would it also be possible to add an ascent filter? Cheers Malcolm

And... you've now got an ascent filter!
