Strava

the 12% of Swains Lane

Oh. Flag their ride.

Half way through todays ride, my Strava dropped signal and tried to upload the ride - resulting in me having 2 strava activities for the same ride. Is there any easy way to link them together?

I had a look at this app for the first time and used it to measure my commute home. The first thing that struck me is why are people on motorbikes using it and pretending to be cyclists to get to the top of leader boards?
32 mph up a hill for 2 minutes in London ? LOL

31 mph up the 12% of Swains Lane the ? I just don't buy it. Even if it is for under 15 seconds.

Very sad

This happened to me on my fastest ride, I got a couple of KOMs at high speed but all on flat land and no insane speed so I don't really understand why it was flagged.

Average 19.5mph from streatham to Kensal rise on a track gear really isn't that much of an achievement.

I think my profile is private too so it must have been someone on here...

GPSvisualizer.com can do this. "Convert a file" and upload the two files, then download as a single gpx file.

so they do have strava for beer now, it's called untappd.

Even if you have a private profile anybody who sees your result on a leaderboard can flag you.

get a cycling specific GPS device for accuracy and dependability

get a cycling specific GPS device for accuracy and dependability

This is what leaves me a little dubious about strava app recorded times vs dedicated gps device times, eg. a garmin.

How accurate is the phone app for recording segment data as part of me thinks it's probably not that accurate.. like about 70-80% accurate, vs a garmin edge more like 95%?

I've started joining the bloody challenges now. Its official, Im addicted and strava will lead me to an early grave.

I plan to print out the digital badges on glossy photo paper, laminate them at work, then sew them onto an 80s bomber jacket from a salvation army store.

It'll be aces.

^^ Yes, but percentages are balls.

If a gps signal stutters* or the trace wanders X amount. Once in a while that will fall within a segment. On a quick segment (of 3 mins for example) that'll be enough to mess it up to the point of it being useless. It'll have less impact overall on a slow segment (of 15 mins).

*quite often the timing sorts itself out after a while. So long as that goes on within the segment all is peachy.

Why wasn't/isn't their an early season climbing challenge for February/March?

Fuck Fondos.

3min sements on a bike are silly.

I dont mind a short punchy climb. In fact it adds to the motivation to attack it in the big ring, and maintain the effort over the top. But random 3min sections just make a mess.

I created a nice 30km loop a few days ago. Pretty common loop I guess, as its basically the 2 most cycled roads, locally, joined together. Currently hve the KOM. But as that was in the pitch black of night on the fixeh. It wont last.

Here is decent 3min-type segment which the pros raced over yesterday. 1km, 85m ascent.

It'd not be a 3min segment for me.

8% climb though. So fair enough.

I have a 2min climb segment I do a lot. Must be 10%. I've been doing it fixed of late. Lose all my time rounding the top and having no legs left to increase speed. Its knowing this that forces me to push it. Great little leg workout.

Its all the tiny random flat segments that annoy me.

New fondo is up, think in English its a century?

Didn't take a proper stab at the last one.

Anyone know of a cheap GPS computer device (<£50), just has to record strava and tell me what speed/distance i'm on.

You have want to do 161kms to get a century.

I have one planned because I've not done one this year and... well it just has to happen at some point...

your phone?

I use a Garmin Forerunner10 for running. It can display speed and distance, among other things. It's nice and simple. You can probably pick one up for around £50 on eBay.

Do Premium users see a TTS and IF number for rides?

If so does that just require a HRM or is power needed?

I don't see TSS (is that what you mean?) but there is an intensity factor- however that's taken from HR I believe.

I wouldn't use Strava for any analytic stuff to be honest.

Yes TSS, my bad.

I just wondered if there was a guide to intensity really. Does the Suffer Score use estimated power (which is total bollocks if you do group rides)?

For posterity...

Load and Intensity are calculated using estimated power.

Sufferscore is just heart rate.
