rattlesnake Posted December 13, 2012 Share Love strava, best ap ever, but......don't love some of the newbies; So in the interest of promoting peace and love in strava land, I thought I would take it upon myself to put together a few pointers on using strava (for the newbies out there with errr let's say less time to think things through properly) 1. When you finish your rides press "stop" on your garmin device BEFORE getting in your car2. If you forget to do so, and its ok, it happens, do NOT upload your ride file....... Why? Because you screw up the leader boards on every climb that you have driven. Rant off, thank you.

Wait until someone board a plane with his Garmin still tracking - now THAT would be a serious KOM to beat...

Rudi Pollard Posted December 13, 2012 Share I got some random readings on strava for my ride over the weekend. Recorded the ride with my Bryton GPS, but when uploaded to Strava the ride time is incorrect. On Brytons website its correct. I did flag the ride, as my average speed according to Strava was 58kmph through Northern Farms.

Flagging takes effort, get notification emails almost daily lately of lost KOM,s to guys going up 7% gradient climbs at 80km/hr!I've flagged numerous rides where people are going 70+ on uphills whether I'm the KOM or not.

word Posted December 13, 2012 Share I have a strava reading that has me at something ridiculous like 190km/h - best part is that somebody took my KOM by a second. I was not in my car at the time as I do not drive to the ride. What do you mean "flag the ride"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
