First Ride

Follow these steps after connecting an activity source or uploading a FIT or GPX file.

---

1. Start with One Ride

Use a recent cycling activity with GPS and elevation data.

Power and heart-rate data can improve the result when available.

---

2. Wait for Processing

Boulder Roller reads the file and looks for eligible climbs.

Processing can produce:

• one or more matched climbs
• a new climb candidate
• ride-level CAL
• no counted climbs

No counted climbs is a normal outcome. It usually means the route, file, or data quality did not meet the climb rules.

---

3. Review the Result

The ride result should show what counted.

Ride results

Manayunk Wall       5:42       +23 CAL
Lyceum Avenue      2:18       +11 CAL
Ride effort        847 TSS    +847 CAL
                              --------
Total                         881 CAL

Check:

• which climbs were found
• your time on each climb
• CAL earned
• Leaderboard changes
• Local Legend or other role changes
• whether a new climb candidate needs review

---

4. Check Timing

CAL is awarded from eligible counted ride effort.

DUNG rewards settle later through eligible climb roles and Vault economics.

If the app shows a result as pending or processing, wait for the ride state to finish before treating the final numbers as settled.

---

5. Choose a Next Action

Depending on the result, you can:

1. Ride the climb again.
2. Chase a Leaderboard position.
3. Create an eligible new climb candidate.
4. Deposit CAL into a Climb's Vault.
5. Collect DUNG when rewards are available.
6. Open BoulderScan for transaction and settlement detail.

Notes

• Not every ride produces a counted climb.
• Better GPS and elevation data improves detection.
• Staking supports a Climb, but it does not change ride results.
• Founder, KOM, Leaderboard, Local Legend, and staker are separate roles.
• Open BoulderScan for transaction and settlement detail.
