Rolling into 2025

This one’s just a minor but significant (to me) blog update. It’s not really even worth bringing others’ attention to it, except that I’m pleased with how I was able to make it work. So what is it?

Yawl know that there’s a sticky/pinned post pinned to the top of my blog with charts that track my Fitness as of my most recent ride.

And one of those charts has always shown my Fitness for the current calendar year.

The problem was: when the year is new (like it is now), that chart would be mostly empty, and it would take weeks or months for it to show any kind of meaningful data.

The obvious solution was to stop segmenting the chart by calendar year, and instead have it show my Fitness over a rolling 12-month period, kinda (exactly) like what you see below. That way it always shows a full year’s worth of data, with new data being added every day, and old data points rolling off.

Setting this up to happen automatically – without any user intervention – required a little tech wizardry to implement, but it’s now done and live on that pinned Up-To-Date Fitness Charts posting. I think it’s a nice little enhancement, and just wanted to call it out so that folks can take note of it.

Here’s what it looks like:
