Strava

They would have "done a Sparky" and stitched a bunch of raw files together in a text editor by hand to produce a single monster journey that they could upload to Strava manually.

Eh?!

Thought that was how you did it?! You've mentioned doing things that way a couple of times if you couldn't log a whole ride as one journey, IIRC.

Unless I've confused you with somebody totally different, obvs.

No, you're right, I have done it. You've got a better memory than I have...

It's not hard to stitch multiple files together, just a little fiddly.

Maybe I'm slow but just noticed this feature. Worth setting up, then you can start/end at your house.

Repped. Although if 3 or more of my segments finish on the border of that circle, it's hardly a challenge to work out where the centre point is...

Shhh!

basic trig!

However if you live in a block of flats then no worry!
Still just start it down the road really. The zone is a bit smaller than it should be too.

Edit: If you put in a full address it makes a bigger circle. Also you can add multiples to enlarge the circle too.

You can set the zone diameter to whatever you like, no?

Apparently not any more...

But you can overlay privacy zones and make it much harder to triangulate.

We've all seen this, right?

Export Strava routes to tcx / gpx to load into your Garmins and other GPS doodads.

Tried it, Garmin looked at it and couldn't read it.

The eported tcx that is.

managed to get a couple of my good segments* back after my privacy zone awesomeness cull.

James Freeman - I'm coming for you!

*pissy 400m sprints that probably no-one else cares about

My ride over Waterloo Bridge this morning didn't register as a segment. Any idea why?

The racing scene is tough out there in the mornings and evenings. Especially on "Kennington Road" and "Brixton Road" race circuits. Some people risk their lives. I have even witnessed a crash in a bunch sprint for Loughborough Road Junction traffic lights a few weeks ago. Those Kudos must mean so much to some people. I must train harder!

Na, it's all about Brixton Hill I heard... http://app.strava.com/rides/17534083#321060007

Didn't realise there was a BH to SH segment, fucked if the lights are red.
And that BH segment is 50meters long!

You can export gpx files from within Strava (on the ride page).

Lame that I can't export segments as gpx though. I want to load them into OsmAnd for turn by turn naviagtion. Good for longer segments (TT style stuff) out in the country.

You can plot it in Garmin Connect and load it on.

Yeah, bikeroutetoaster too, it's just a shame to have to replot it.

After using Strava for a fortnight now, I'm pretty sure some people are cheating and doing it in their car.

You can report those "rides", check the performance tab for moments of unrealistic speed, like 50mph up a hill..

I just weighed one of my bikes, Dammit-style, so I could get a power output calculation for a journey. The box where you add the weight says lbs, so I put in 51 for 23kg*. Got an error message back saying that the max bike weight you can add is 50kg. Genius.

*this made me feel a lot less like Dammit

You'll have to add some beer gut to the person weight.

Or just sort your bike out.
