Always ride wearing a helmet for your safety.

Yes.

How do I submit my daily ride data?

Please go through the steps on our new users page to understand the process of submitting your daily ride data. Ride data may be submitted manually on event website or mobile app, or you can setup an automatic sync from supported activity tracking apps.

I use a GPS ride app or a GPS watch. Will my data be read automatically?

We currently only support automatic import of your ride data from your Strava, Garmin, GoogleFit or MapMyRide account, if you have connected it to your Tour de 100 or HDOR account. For any other ride apps (like Wahoo Fitness, Runkeeper, TomTom Sports, etc), you will be required to manually submit the run data via a public GPS activity link of your ride (unless you have setup automatic sync of your app ride data to your Strava account), which must have the following details of your ride:

– Speed
– Distance
– Km/mile splits or speed charts,
– Publicly visible to everyone

If your submitted link does not meet these conditions, the data will not be considered valid and will be rejected/removed.

What is a public GPS activity link?

In the Tour de 100 data submission system, we require participants to submit a public GPS activity link for all their ride activities. So what is it? Read this article to find out.

For each ride data submission, you will be required to specify a public GPS activity link for that ride, which is available when you ride using the common GPS based cycling apps like Strava, Wahoo Fitness, Map My Ride, etc. Any public GPS activity link submitted must meet the following criteria:
– It must have ‘speed’ information for the ride
– It must have ride ‘distance’
– Km/mile ‘splits’ (or speed chart over entire distance) must be available
– Activity link data should be publicly visible to everyone, i.e. it should not be private
– It should be of a minimum distance of 5 km

Make sure to verify before you register that the cycling app you are planning to use meets the above requirements and provides you with the public GPS activity link which you need to submit for every ride.

Data from indoor bike trainers will also be acceptable as long as they have the above information and shared as an activity link.

We DO NOT accept screenshots from your phone app etc as valid forms of ride data proof.

When can I enter data for a particular date. Same day, next day, 10 days later?

Users must enter the ride data for a specific day within 10 days of that date. For example: if the ride was on Nov 20th, then the participant can submit data for that date latest by Nov 19th, and no later. This allowance is given to handle things like travel, etc, which might lead to delayed entry of data. No exceptions to this rule will be allowed.

If you are involved in work which involves remaining away for long periods where it is not possible to submit data within 10 days, no exception will be given for late data entry.

How will I be able to see details of my recorded data?

The website will have your participant dashboard page where participants will be able to see all their submitted ride details, as well as ride data for other event participants.

I entered wrong data. How do I fix it?

You will be able to edit the manually filled-in data for the relevant date again, with the right information, within a 10 day window. For example, for a ride data for Dec 5th, you can edit the data latest by Dec 14th, and no later.

Any auto-imported ride-data from your connected account cannot be edited by the participants. If the participant feels that any one of their auto-imported ride-data isn’t correct, the participant will first be required to delete that ride-data from the Tour de 100 account after logging-in and then manually enter correct data within the prescribed time limit. Again, needless to say, you will be able to do this within the 10-days window. For example, if there was issue with your Strava imported data for Dec 5th, then you can delete and manually reenter the data latest by Dec 14th, and no later.

Is there any restriction regarding submission of distance for daily ride?

Yes. When submitting ride data for a day you will be required to specify a public GPS activity link for that ride.

No data submission will be allowed without a public GPS activity link.

The minimum distance which has to be submitted is 5 km. No distance less than 5 km will be accepted in the system.

Every submitted activity link should be public so that anyone can open and thus view your ride-data, without the need for any special access, at the most by logging in to their own app account for the app using which the ride data was submitted.

How do I submit ride data outside the 10 day period?

Ride data older than 10 days cannot be submitted as per event rules.

How to sync your app ride data to Strava?

Read this article to understand how to sync your app ride data to Strava.

How to connect your Tour De 100 account with Strava or Garmin?

Read the new users article to understand how to connect your Tour de 100 account with Strava or Garmin.

Which cycling app should I use for submitting my ride data?

Read this article to see our recommendations on the apps to use to submit your daily ride data.

How do I submit my Garmin ride data directly?

Read this article to understand how to submit your activity data from the Garmin app/account to Tour de 100. We also support auto import of your Garmin ride data to your Tour De 100 account.

How can I flag bad ride data submitted by other participants?

Read this article to understand how to flag/report bad ride data submitted by other participants.

How can I submit data for multiple rides in a day?

If you use Strava for your rides (or your daily ride data is available in Strava via an export from your regular cycling app or GPS watch), and you have connected your Tour de 100 account with your Strava account, then our daily Strava ride data import process will import your data for multiple rides into your Tour de 100 account within 24 hours of the ride.

If your ride data is on another app (not Strava), then one option is to create a Strava account and transfer your ride data from your existing cycling app account to your Strava account (which should be connected to your Tour de 100 account). Read this article for more details.

Alternatively, you can manually submit the data for the multiple rides in the day one by one using the submit form on your participant dashboard.

Automatic Strava/Garmin import did not happen for my ride within 24 hours. What should I do?

Automatic Strava or Garmin import system is a convenience which we bring to our participants so that they are not required to manually submit their daily ride data. At times, due to connectivity issues, or because the participant’s rides were not made public in their Strava or Garmin account, or for any other unforeseen issue, the system may not import the participant ride data.

It will be participants responsibility to ensure that their data submission is up to date. If the daily Strava or Garmin import process did not import their ride within 24 hours of the actual ride time, participants must submit the ride data manually within the 10 day window, inclusive of the date of the ride.

I missed to submit ride data within 10 days. How can I add it now?

As per the event rules, the ride data for any given date must be submitted by the participant within a 10 day window, inclusive of the date of the ride. For example, if the ride date was Nov 21st, then the user must submit the data latest by Nov 30th.

Any requests for data submission outside the 10 day window will not be entertained.

Where do I need to ride to take part in this event?

Anywhere, as per your route of choice. On a road near your home, ride to work, this is completely your choice. Don’t forget to wear your helmet and take all due precautions on the road.

Do however note that for all rides it is mandatory to submit a public GPS activity link from a cycling app for the same as proof.

What if I miss a day? Can I ride twice the next day?

Missing a day would mean you miss that day, and it cannot be compensated by riding twice the next day. Don’t stop your Tour de 100 riding streak if you do miss a few days here or there due to an unavoidable situation, like injury, or travel. Of course, with injuries, you have to take precaution before restarting, and advice of doctor as necessary.

Missing a few days here and there does not disqualify you from Tour de 100.

Can I ride more than once in a day?

You can ride multiple times during a day but only the longest ride of the day will be considered for the event.

For rides longer than 50 km, if the difference between the stop time of first ride and start time of second ride is less than 30min, the system will combine them into one and map with relevant challenges.
