Leaderboard is Back!

Submitted by sherry on June 18, 2008 - 10:43am

Thanks to the efforts of Joe Polk from MTBCast, the wonderful folks at SPOT and Kevin Montgomery (who during his race called in to help), the leaderboard is back up on this website. YEAH! I know you Blue Dot Junkies, like me, are relieved.

Its been quiet this morning with no call ins. We think a SPOT or two might not be tracking and we are working on that.

Stay tuned.

Wonderful

Wonderful to see the Leaderboard back in place. All of us at SPOT also are following this enthusiastically. I would recommend adding the Terrain and Satellite Map to your Leaderboard. That will make it look great. If you need any help in that then I will be glad to help you.

I second Hari's suggestion

I second the suggestion to add Terrain and Satellite options. Also, it's kind of convenient to have the zoom slider like the one Charles has on his version of the leaderboard.

Thanks to everybody for making this site so useful. I toured (not raced) the GDR last year, and I'm really enjoying following closely, since I fondly remember many of the roads and lunch stops!

Thanks Hari and Amy.

Thanks Hari and Amy. I can't add those things but will see if I can get some help in that area. I love the Terrain and Satellite options too. I flip back and forth between various leaderboards all day. I especially like it when they are in town because like Amy I can tell from riding the route last year exactly which restaurant or bike shop they are at. Funny how food is some of the most memorable events of the ride.

I'm not sure if I can get those items added, by I'll do my best.

Same as Hari, Dietrich and

Same as Hari, Dietrich and Sherry above, I'm also following the leaderboard on Joe Polk's site because I love the option of selecting topo maps (or satellite images when in towns). It just gives me better idea of geography guys are riding in;)

Thanks to all of you guys for great efforts re-solving the issues around SPOT leaderboard.

I also have a Leaderboard with Distance measurement

Hi All -

This is Hari again. Here is my leader board. It has a Distance measurement tool and the Terrain comes up as default.
