Strava

I'll be doing 7 everests in June. Or at least that's what the claimed elevation gain of the tour divide route is.

Sounds legit.

Not jealous. Anything that is 'everested' by only doing a seventh. Is all kinds of fecked up.

Try Ramersbach

Only 26 reps and a 230mile ride right?

ha, yes but I live in the Netherlands and I think the segment with the most vertical m between bottom and top is Camerig

do you know the key combos for mac users?

We missed the left turn ;-(

respect.
Want to get a MTB to do southdd

I think for macs to open the console in Chrome use Command + Option + J
Pasting is also Command + Option + V

command + V, without option. cheers, it worked. background stays grey though?

(this work is called messengering in the city of Tilburg from oct '14 - april '15)

So much fun. Charts Your strava ride as a stage profile With overlayed strava segments.

Alp D'Huez must be the most well defined Climb in the world. Theres one road from start to finish*. Why does it have dozens of fecking segments. Meh.

(*I still got lost the first time)

Man, that annoying that the black isn't coming through. I don't know why - try replacing "black" with some other colour. Pity, cos black highlights the heatmap colours best.

Really like your map there though. There's a strava club called 'Ride every road' that would also appreciate it if you interested. That's where I found this map method.

Oh good, only 125 reps of Brimley Road Hill (one of the few hills with a decent gradient in Toronto)

There's more than one way up. Plus where do you measure too, the entrance to to the village itself, or the actual Tour stage finish?

Don't ever do a segment search for Alpe d'Huez though, there are hundreds, many of which aren't anywhere near France.

Have you seen a 24hr track (running) race? Boggles the mind. I watched the end of one IRL just to convince myself it wasn't an internet joke...

cheers, will check it out

anyway I can change the strava maps to the maps at bridlewaymap.com? You can change it to open street/cycle map using the bookmarks supplied here but there's a bit too much data on those for what I need. Sadly OS maps used to be available but no more.

I have a terrible habit of just riding till the hill ends. Which sounds fine. But up here you can find yourself on a washed out mud trail, trying to sqeeze every once of traction out of Your horribly expensive tubs, and trying not to think about descending over exposed rock on carbon rims.......

I then og home, create it as a segment, and do it again. Instant KOM.

Topical (not me)

does anyone use strava's fitness/freshness chart?

averaged around 400 TSS/week for last month seeing fitness chart grow steadily. This week im on 300TSS (according to trainingpeaks). If I don't do anymore riding I will be 3 "fitness" points down on last week.

It seems incredibly harsh :(

I've looked at it, it seems utter nonsense.

I have just discovered a) Strava and b) Richmond Park. Today was a good day.

It is what it is. The formula for calculating fitness will be the same as trainingpeaks but with different weights / a different exponent.

Just catching up.... the nymag article...

Many of the app's most popular and contested segments in New York are in located in Central Park, including Horse Shit Climb

Boss just walked into the office wearing one of those Strava Gran Fondo jerseys.

First specimen I've seen in the wild.
