  • I have joined Strava.

    I have no idea how to use it.

    But I am getting a new bike, it will have a power meter, I want to put in a lot more miles, I have a Garmin... and I figure that all this shit must be able to be joined together somehow, and that Strava is the glue to do it.

  • Strava can be fun, though it can ruin cycling when people only obsess about segments.

    I think the new bike and power meter will be a fun learning curve. Power meter basically tells me I am fucking lazy a lot of the time, I can spin a low gear at 90rpm and do neglible work or change a couple of gears and be at ftp.

  • That's basically been my understanding of Strava, hence not joining.

    I want to focus on miles this year. So it's not going to be about segments, just about control of power, comfort, endurance.

    I figure when I have the new bike, and new equipment like the power meter that this is a good time to join Strava, consider a joined-up fitness tracking thing.

    Besides... my first ride since the hit and run will be Monday morning. So it's a way of tracking recovery and habits too.
