Another run across America underway - is it legit? Boots currently on the ground

Sneakers, have you had the chance to go meet PJ and blow him yet or are you waiting until he gets to New York?

Seriously, Sneakers is straight up obsessed with the man:

It's fine if you simply say you are jealous of PJ's handsome good looks and success and that is why you are harassing him.

And even back then I knew these cadence drop outs with Rob still moving doesn't mean he was cheating, and it was not because Rob doesn't have the supermodel good looks of PJ.

I gave an honest faith effort in trying to find a "smoking gun" of PJ cheating. Sorry that the data doesn't line up with your prejudices about PJ's looks. I don't fabricate lies like so many of you have repeatedly done.

Now, you will turn towards smearing Silly-Beaver and saying he is a PJ shill because his eye-witness testimony doesn't line up with your prejudices of PJ's good looks.

Hello everyone, Rob Pope here - the British Forrest Gump (just happened to be the Australian marathon champion once) 😀

I heard I'd been mentioned so I thought I'd pop in.

My cadence drop outs were due to me using a stroller and pushing it predominantly with my watch hand, so unlike the pole issue, my wrist doesn't swing and therefore doesn't register on the accelerometer. If you was want to go hunting for when I was supported (about 45% of the time, so August 2017 would be a good time, for example), you'll see no cadence drop outs.

I concur with those that say he needs to share his Connect data.

Rob, I've been thinking about all the cadence dropouts in your run across America again while still moving at speed. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that it was from pushing the stroller with the arm but how do I know you didn't just hop on the back of the stroller to ride like a push scooter and push with one foot every so often? The cadence and speed data for cheating that way would be indistinguishable from the speed and dropped cadence data in all your files.

I want to give you the same benefit of the doubt in your suspicious cadence data that you are giving PJ.

Here's the link to my stroller:

As you can see, there is nowhere to do that. What you can't see was that the centre of gravity is set so the weight is on the back wheels, which means if you pushed down too hard on the handle, the front wheel would come up. Also, it had a weight capacity of 100lb.

There you go. Nice bit of transparency for you.

As regarding PJ, it's clear he doesn't want to provide that data as he's fishing for clicks, so I'll no longer be getting involved. Maybe he'll provide that data at the end, maybe he won't.

Hey guys, just want to chime in and say thanks for all the laughs. I currently have Jake locked in the basement in case we have any more bugs in the site. We made a few mistakes with the code because we were too busy micro-riding and now Jake is paying the price. I'll try to remember to throw him a sandwich every now and then.

Here at StreetFerret, our core values are goofing off, community building, and providing hopefully-accurate running and cycling stats.

As others have said, Paul's full-fidelity heartrate and cadence data are fully available on Strava, and have been this entire time.

We are amused that we're expected to entertain claims that Paul is cheating from people that don't actually have the ability to download and analyze data with a tool as simple as, say, Excel.

Please keep up the temper tantrums.

Love,

I'm now convinced. Streetferret is actually Sneakers. Same glib and dismissive writing style. It works well in lieu of substantive rebuttal, at least for those who want to believe.
