Matthew - your comment wasn't taken as a dig at all. I thought is was quite funny.
Much as it might be convenient to pass on to a student, I do really enjoy working on this and I fully intend to get some kind of paper out of it (I've already managed to get one of of the LEL visualization work, which I'll share once it is published).
I've tried to automate the data capture as much as I can. The time consuming bits are (i) getting the files from Strava converted into .crs files (the Strava API can't be used for this as it only allows you to process your own uploads); (ii) selecting an appropriate screenshot and two sentence summary for YACF. Perhaps I should just bung a graphic up and we have a caption competition.
